The 5K run originated in the mid-20th century as part of the growing popularity of road racing and running events. It was designed to be a more accessible distance for both novice and experienced runners, promoting fitness and community involvement. The distance gained traction in the 1970s with the running boom, often associated with charity events and local races. Today, 5Ks are a staple in the running community, appealing to a wide range of participants.
