How long is a 5K?
The "K" stands for kilometer. A kilometer is 0.62 of a mile, which makes a 5K race 3.1 miles long or 16368 feet long or 5000 meters long.
A 5K is considered the entry level distance for road racing and is the most beginner friendly choice if you're looking to break into road racing. With some training, you will be able to complete a 5K without stopping to walk.
If you're looking to run your first 5K, you can simply focus on the distance knowing that you will already be setting a PR (personal record) that day. As you build up to your second or third 5K, you can focus more on time.

"We feel refreshed and renewed physically, and realize that we are able to push ourselves
beyond what we
imagined our limits to be. Setting physical goals for ourselves and achieving them can have immense rewards.
As we find freedom from our disease through practicing the principles of the program, we learn that discipline
is actually a part of that freedom: We have the ability to pursue our dreams, and we get there one goal at a
time." Living Clean pg. 152
