A good running 5k race pace is normally considered to be anything under 25 minutes. However, please don’t think that you need to complete the Zayed Sports Marathon in this amount of time! The race starts at 7.15am and you have until 8.30am to finish.
As with a 10k, the amount of calories you burn in a 5k race depends on how much you weigh and how fast you run, but for most people it is generally between 300 and 400 calories.
