5k Runs 2025 - 2026

The findarace.com calendar lists hundreds of 5K races across Canada every year – there’s almost one for every day of the year. A 5K (5 kilometres) is one of the most popular and accessible race distances, and with a bit of training, it’s achievable for runners of all ages, shapes, and sizes. This makes 5K races an excellent choice for family fun runs, where multiple generations can participate and enjoy the experience together.

A 5K race is also an ideal goal for beginners or new runners who haven’t tried an organised race before. It’s a fun, manageable introduction to race day that’s less daunting than a 10K. For seasoned runners, a 5K can be an exciting way to keep training sharp and fast. At findarace, we feature the fastest and flattest 5K races across Canada, as well as the toughest and most unique events for those seeking a challenge.
