3km race is short?

Question

I'm joining a fun race. My friend's are forcing me to join. Is 3km that long?

Answer 1

that is 3000 meters

Answer 2

hun, 3k's are really easy, REAlly short, and really makes your heart pump...

a 3k is only 1.8 miles long.....

the races i run now are 5k's (which is 3.1 miles)

in middleschool (last year) the distance we ran on meet days in crosscountry was a 3k....

im in sophmore in highschool now and our meet distance is 5k.

the main point is, 3K's are really fun and short.... just make sure you dont start off too fast or it will make the whole race a stuggle, HAVE FUN & GOOD LUCK!!!!

Answer 3

3km is a very short race. Some people can run it in 9 mins so for an average runner you will run it in at the most 30 mins. It should be a fun race especially with your friends. I hope you enjoy your race.

Answer 4

3 km is 1.86 miles so if you're not used to running, this might be a bit much.  However, if you have some time before the race, you can start a short training period to gain a little more endurance.  Start small and keep a slow pace and definitely make sure you have a good quality running shoe.  Try

Answer 5

3 km is about 1.8 miles, so yes, it will be fun because it is very short. :)

(You should be able to finish it in less than 15 minutes, unless you walk)

Answer 6

its about 1.8 miles, not that long

Answer 7

Well if you havn't been training, then it may seem long to you because you will get winded. As long as you give yourself plenty of time to train, then a 3k is not really that long.  I am a distance runner so I find 3ks to be very short.
