Español5000 METERS
(Redirected from 5000 metres)
The '5000 meters' is a popular running distance also known as a 5K or 5 km, colloquially "five-K" (equal to 3.107 miles). This distance is typical for running races; on road, on the track or cross-country. It is one of the track events in the Olympic Games.
Runners generally refer to the distance on the track as 5000 meters but call cross-country or road races 5K
Much of the distance's popularity is due to the challenge it offers to both novices and accomplished professionals. It is a distance race that demands a great deal of endurance as well as speed. Tactics are also a key role, and the combination makes it attractive to many.
The world record for men is 12:37.35 set by Ethiopian Kenenisa Bekele in 2004.[1] The women's record is 14:16.63, set by Meseret Defar in Oslo in June 2007.[2]
