We continue our study of genus 2 curves $C$ that admit a cover $ C to E$ to a genus 1 curve $E$ of prime degree $n$. These curves $C$ form an irreducible 2-dimensional subvariety $L_n$ of the moduli space $M_2$ of genus 2 curves. Here we study the case $n=5$. This extends earlier work for degree 2 and 3, aimed at illuminating the theory for general $n$. We compute a normal form for the curves in the locus $L_5$ and its three distinguished subloci. Further, we compute the equation of the elliptic subcover in all cases, give a birational parametrization of the subloci of $L_5$ as subvarieties of $M_2$ and classify all curves in these loci which have extra automorphisms.
