Are 3km races considered as distance running?

Question

Or are they middle-distance races?

Answer 1

I think it depends on who you ask, but I'd consider 5K's the low end of distance racing, since there are 10K's, 15K's, and marathons out there.

Answer 2

Depends on who you are and what you usually run but I think it is  more of a middle distance race. Its about 1.86 miles..so not even a full 2 miles.

Answer 3

In high school- Yes, but not really run (2 mile run)

College- It is considered long distance in indoor since it is the second longest race, in outdoor rarely run(run 5k and 10k as distance)

Proffesional- middle distance
