The 5000 metres (approximately 3.1 mi or 16,404 ft) is a popular running distance also known as 5 km or 5K ("five-K"). It is one of the track events in the Olympic Games and the World Championships in Athletics, which is almost the same length of the Ancient Games event of dolichos race, introduced in 720 BCE. "5000 metres" refers to racing on a track and "5K" usually refers to a roadrace or cross country event. While mainly run as an outdoor event, the 5000 m is sometimes run on an indoor track. The IAAF keeps official records for both outdoor[1] and indoor[2] 5000 m track events, but not for 5 km road races.

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 aerobic endurance. Whilst speed is necessary, tactics also play a key role, and the combination makes it attractive to many.[citation needed] If the 5,000 metres were to be done at "four-minute-mile" pace then the 12.5 laps would be 11.7 seconds faster than current men's world record of 12 minutes 37.35 seconds.
