If you're talking about the actual time it takes to physically run a 5k (and not how long it would take to train for one), it's about 30 minutes. 5k is around 3.1 miles, so if you average 10 minutes per mile, it's 30 minutes total.
Practice practice practice. The more and longer you run, the better your 5k time will be.
A 5K run is a distance of 3.11 miles.
Five kilometers is equivalent to approximately 3.1 miles. An average time for an novice athlete to run a 5k would be thirty minutes (approximately ten minutes per mile).
