5K event

A 5K event is a popular organized race where participants run or walk a distance of 5 kilometers (about 3.1 miles). It’s often held for fitness, charity, or community gathering purposes. Runners of all skill levels can participate, making it accessible and inclusive. The event usually involves a designated course, timing, and sometimes related activities like awards or social events. Because of its manageable distance, a 5K is a common goal for beginners and experienced runners alike, promoting health, community involvement, and fundraising efforts.
