The 5000 metres (approximately 3.1 mi or 16,404 ft) is a popular running distance also known as 5 km or 5K ("five-K"). It is one of the track events in the Olympic Games and the World Championships in Athletics. "5000 metres" refers to racing on a track and "5K" usually refers to a roadrace or cross country event. While mainly run as an outdoor event, the 5000 m is sometimes run on an indoor track. Official records are kept for both outdoor and indoor 5000 m track events, but not for 5 km road races.
Much of the distance's popularity is due to the challenge it offers to both novices and accomplished professionals. It is a distance race that demands a great deal of aerobic endurance whilst speed is necessary. Tactics also play a key role, and the combination makes it attractive to many.

As of June 21, 2009, 35 world records have been ratified by the IAAF in the event.
Come on
You can feel her coming, coming at you
She, she's staying on you
You know she's coming at you
To resist her seems impossible
You can't do it, no you can't do it, no you can't do it
Hey lady what you say
How about some fun today?
Is it yes? Is it no?
Whatever it is just let me know
Don't fake me out, out
Oh, you make me shout
Alligator woman, you don't care
You ignore my desires, it ain't fair
You just want to tease me and turn me on
I wish you would leave but I don't want to be alone, no
Hey, babe I love you so
You know I don't want to go
Even though you're real laid back
You're dressed in black
And your hair is laid back
Hey lady what you say
How about some fun today?
Is it yes? Is it no?
Whatever it is just let me know
Don't fake me out, out
Oh, you make me shout
Alligator woman, you don't care
You ignore my desires, it ain't fair
You just want to tease me and turn me on
I want you to go but I don't want to be alone, ho
You're a mess, I must confess
You make me hot, with what you've got
Your big behind, it makes me blind
Don't take me gross but you're the most
You're a mess, I must confess
You make me hot, with what you've got
Your big behind, it makes me blind
I must be gross
Aw girl, aw girl
Aw girl, aw girl
Alligator woman, you don't care
You ignore my desires, it ain't fair
You just want to tease me and turn me on
I don't want you to stay but I don't want to be alone, now
You're a mess, I must confess
You make me hot, with what you've got
Your big behind, it makes me blind
Don't take me gross but you're the most
You're a mess, I must confess
You make me hot, with what you've got
Your big behind, it makes me blind
