How Many Miles Is 5K, 10K, Half Marathon And A Marathon?


Running a 5k is becoming a very widespread goal for many Beginner Runners. It's a length of race which with a little steady training nearly all people could train up to running in as little as 6 to 8 weeks.

But just how many miles is 5k and how long will it take the typical runner to complete one?

I have created a list below of all the mainstream running distances, although a few organisers create their own distances and routes, most road races will fit in to one of the next few categories: -

How Many Miles Is 5k
 = 3.1 miles.
Most beginner runners will take an average time to finish a 5k race of 30 - 40 minutes.

How Many Miles Is 10k = 6.2 miles
The usual time it takes to finish a 10k race is 1 -1½ hours

The average time it takes runners to finish a marathon is between 4½ - 5 hours.

5k runs have grown to be a very popular way for charities to raise both funds and the awareness of their individual causes.

Many people opt for charities to run for which have a particular value to them, for example they might have lost a relative or friend to a certain disease or know someone that is struggling with an illness.

5k races are the shortest distances for beginner runners to take part in, but you still need to be fully ready. The truth is that most people are physically able to run a 5k, but they don't simply because they don't adhere to the right running training advice.

If you've often wondered 'how many miles is 5k' and are thinking about getting off the Couch to 5k running, then you should stick to a schedule designed actually for a beginner runner.
