Some special vocabulary should be cleared up for non-runners:
"first-time marathon"
while it can be deducted from the "qualification for the Boston marathon" that not all events are open to everybody, the term "first-time" marathon should be explained properly.
"5K race", "10K race"
is this common parlance among event organizers? Then it should be explained for laymen. Otherwise preference should be given to proper
SI Units such as "5 km" and "10 km". It should generally be avoided to capitalize "kilo" as much as possible.
This is common parlance for road races in the USA. I have added links to the relevant Wikipedia pages. These races are known as 10 and 5 'K' races, and this is often, if not always, capitalised in the USA. Friecode (
