To determine how many feet are in a 5k race, you can use the following steps:
1. Convert miles to feet. Since there are 5,280 feet in one mile, we can multiply the number of miles (3.1) by the number of feet in a mile (5,280).
\[
3.1 \text{ miles} \times 5,280 \text{ feet/mile} = 16,368 \text{ feet}
\]
So, there are **16,368 feet** in a 5k race.
