5kilometres

5kilometres is not a standard term in scientific or technical usage, but a stylized compound that can denote a distance of five kilometres. The form places the numeral 5 directly before the plural unit kilometres, without a space, a pattern sometimes chosen for branding, domain names, or compact labels. Because it is not a conventional unit name, its meaning relies on context.

Five kilometres equals 5,000 metres and is about 3.106 miles. This distance is common in athletics, particularly road races, and is also used in planning, logistics, and mapping to describe moderate long-distance routes. As a label, 5kilometres may be employed for events, products, or online identifiers that want a concise, distinctive name tied to distance.

There is no widely recognized organization, product line, or concept officially named 5kilometres. In practice, the term could function as a brand name for a running event, a project identifier, a domain, or a social media handle. In formal writing, distance should be stated with a space or standard abbreviation, such as five kilometres or 5 km.

Spelling and conventions: kilometre is the British spelling of the unit; kilometer is the American form. The concatenated form 5kilometres is typically seen outside formal writing, in branding or filenames. In standard prose, it is clearer to write 5 kilometres or 5 km to avoid ambiguity.
