Here are some fun and motivating stats about running 5Ks:
😀A 5K is 3.1 miles.
👉🏻The average 5K finish time in the U.S. is around 35–40 minutes for recreational runners. But fasers or slower is just fine!
🍕Finishing a 5K burns roughly 250–500 calories depending on pace and body size.
😁5Ks are the most popular race distance in the United States. More than 8 million Americans complete a 5K each year. (So, we don’t want to hear “I can’t!”)
💪Women make up the majority of 5K participants nationwide. #girlpower
🗓Couch-to-5K training plans typically take about 8–10 weeks. #training
🚶🏿♀️Walking a 5K still counts!
😎Studies show regular running can improve heart health, sleep, mood, and reduce stress.
☀Running just 30 minutes can boost endorphins and improve mental clarity for hours afterward.
💗Most runners remember their first 5K forever. Seriously. It’s a core memory kind of thing.
Let’s be real, the hardest part of a 5K for most people?
😮Registering. Once you start, you’re already doing it.
When is your next 5K?!
We are officially in the final stretch and race day is almost here @gofarkids !
The energy, the nerves, the excitement… it’s all part of the journey.
Whether you’re running, walking, cheering, or supporting, this day is about celebrating every single step our kids have taken this season.
Don't forget that the 5K is open to ALL PARTICIPANTS! So while our mission is youth driven we want ALL to participate rac day!
If you haven’t signed up yet, this is your sign. Let’s go!

Now, the real question is, where can we find you racing, cheering, walking, jogging, volunteering?! We want to hear!
To every mother runner, stroller pushers, training-while-toddler-wrangling, midnight-mile chasers, we see you. Thank you for showing the next generation what strong looks like.
Sunday, May 10 is just around the corner! And if your family is asking for gift ideas or you ARE the family searching for something meaningful for mom, we've got you covered!
Idea 1)
Let mom lace up and enjoy an uniterrupted walk/run/jog for as long as her heart desires!
Idea 2)
Gift what mom really wants, a race registration! A J311 Gift Voucher works just like a gift card for racing, buy it, we send your runner a code, they claim their entry whenever they are ready. No expiration anxiety, no awkward shirt-size guessing. Just a clean handoff and the kind of smile only a runner gets when someone really gets them.
If you want to buy a voucher they are live now for purchase on the home pages of the following events (all can be found by visiting junction311.com)
Live now:
• Big Beach Marathon, Half Marathon & Safari 7K (Gulf Shores, AL)
• Cannonball Running Festival (Greensboro, NC)
• Valentine's Heartbreaker Marathon & Relay (Greensboro, NC)
• CraftHalf Half Marathon & 5K (Winston-Salem, NC)
Whatever you decide to do, be sure to show all the mommas out there some love!💗
We get excited when signs start popping up for our BIG fall events! Cannonball Running Festival @cannonballrunningfestival
It’s never too early to start prep for fall racing! Matter of fact, now is the perfect time to set your sites on a challenge distance! A full 26.2?! A half marathon clocking in at 13.1 miles? A 10K to challenge your speed? Lock in that Friday night 5K with a Saturday race to test your limits.
If you can dream it you can do it!
Every finisher is a winner!
