National 5K Day celebrates the 3.1-mile race that starts many running journeys. Once an Olympic distance, the 5K is now a personal, accessible event for beginners, families, survivors, and elites alike. The day honors runners, race directors, volunteers, and communities. Observances include joining local races, running your own 5K, entering the virtual race, sharing stories on social media, and supporting local running groups.
