5K, or 5 Kilometers, is 5,000 meters. In US measurements that is the equivalent of 3.1 miles, or 5468 yards. This is about 45 (am.) football fields, or 12.5 laps around a standard-length (400m) Outdoor Track for running.
There is no such thing. A marathon is a distance race that is 26.2 miles in length.
10k is 6.2 miles so 5k is 3.1miles
