When someone is confused about distance and middle distance running and calls a 5k a 5k Marathon.
5k= 5,000 meters on a road/track/cross country/etc 3.1 miles
A Marathon is 42.195 kilometers or 26.2 miles.
The Marathon has Legendary roots.
According to ancient Greek history, the original marathon was ran by a Legendary soldier Pheidippides (Philippides) from a battlefield near the town of Marathon, Greece, to Athens in 490 B.C.
According to lore, he died shortly after the delivery.
5k=3.1mi
1/2 Marathon=13.1mi
10k=6.2
Marathon=26.2
The Marathon is not a 5k or 10k, but there are often Half Marathon races on Marathon race day.

Average Joe, “I just ran my first 5k marathon. I have never run that far in my life!”
