A 5K race is equivalent to 5 kilometers, which is equal to 5000 meters. Since a standard track is 400 meters long, you would need to complete 12.5 laps around the track to cover a distance of 5000 meters. Therefore, a 5K race would require you to run around the 400 m track 12.5 times.
kilometers is the right answer
Take the amount of time that the track was traveled in and divide 60 by it. If it takes 6 minutes, that's 10 miles/hr.
On a standard outdoor athletics track of 400m: 1200m / 400m = 3 laps. Indoor athletics tracks can be 200m in which case 1200m / 200m = 6 laps.
