It’s no wonder why, since a 5K race is five kilometers long which works out to just over three miles (3.1 to be exact), and is a manageable distance even for individuals who live most of their lives on the couch. Of course, it is crucial to emphasize no one should try running a full 5K on the first day they start running, or even within the first week! The good news, however, is the vast majority of individuals can be ready for this kind of race within nine weeks.
