The findarace.com calendar lists hundreds of 5k walking events across the US every year. A 5 km walk is one of the most popular event distances, and with a bit of preparation, it’s relatively achievable for most ages, shapes, and sizes. As a result, they make perfect family-friendly activities that multiple generations can participate in and enjoy together.
A 5k walk is also an ideal goal for beginners or those new to organized events who haven't participated in one before. It's a great, fun introduction to the event day experience and a bit less demanding than a 10k walk. For seasoned walkers, 5k events offer an opportunity to keep their fitness sharp and maintain an active lifestyle. We list the most enjoyable, scenic, and challenging 5k walks across America.
