5K Run - About road racing

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I have chosen this article to evaluate because I have gained much interest in running. I wanted to learn more behind the popularity of 5K runs and why they have become so popular for charities to use over the year. I've done my fair share of 5K runs, like the color run, hot chocolate run, and turkey trouts.

Evaluate the article
Everything in the article is relevant and on topic, referring to 5K runs. All information was updated in 2021, for instance the list of men and women runners states that it’s the newest update. To be fair I think this article does a great job emphasizing what a 5K run is and how it may differ to other runs done. The article to me stays very neutral, possibly a more biased viewpoint of an educated runner. I’m not sure I’d want to read this article any other way though, as it should be written from a runners viewpoint. To be fair there isn’t much to be controversial about when discussing 5K runs. This isn’t an argumentative article, it’s more of an educational article on just what a 5K run is. All links found in this article, for instance ‘Athletics Events’ or ‘Annual 5 km Running Competitions’ work perfectly. The reference list for the article is very compatible to the referenced facts throughout the article on 5K’s. From what I can see there are no on-going conversations about this topic. The 5K run was thoughtfully written, and educated its readers on just what a 5K run is.
