The 5000 metres or 5000-metre run is a common long-distance running event in track and field, approximately equivalent to 3 miles 188 yards or 16,404 feet 2 inches.

The same distance in road running is called a 5K run; referring to the distance in metres rather than kilometres serves to disambiguate the two events.
