A 5k is 3.1 miles.

[{"selector":"#anim-0ee7ce99-c2e0-4f5d-af0d-02054fd5e576","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9ae93be1-a0e4-443c-9f91-8f7e423cda21","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-136.97478%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Physically, with a little training you definitely can walk a 5k.

[{"selector":"#anim-4b5ed49e-6fac-48b4-8f98-0ec15ab92433","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7a75ad63-613a-4593-bf2c-22650326eeac","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-129.45736%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

If you are looking to register and walk a 5k race, here is what you need to check for.

[{"selector":"#anim-f188f7a9-db25-49bc-b01b-81ae83aceafb","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a428c78c-3ffd-46d6-bc52-8176fafb4ca2","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-125.27472%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Almost all races have some sort of time limit.

[{"selector":"#anim-a4946573-b0e1-4299-b98c-812cce8e213d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-99e1cbab-4020-448a-9727-e34174998d46","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-130.07813%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Some races are more "walker friendly" than others.

[{"selector":"#anim-35f1bf75-fd2c-40e0-9fd4-ed4e6cd42ffc","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8a5fb35d-cb36-434c-977c-396d9ded368c","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-130.85938%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Look for a race that says "walkers welcome" or has a generous time limit, i.e. more than 1 hour to complete the course.

[{"selector":"#anim-212c3c45-9599-4fe2-8011-e0a2573be098","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-856c3e73-7f27-44df-b911-35ea89e426e3","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-124.10072%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

If you are planning to walk a race, be safe and remember to start at the back of the starting area so the runners are in front of you.

[{"selector":"#anim-17cd859c-cefc-4852-b138-2a663de31e3a","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-500fdb37-3202-448e-a811-2dc8fd3fec55","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-124.18773%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]
