I am still very out of shape but would like to get into doing 5-k's and work on decreasing my time.
My question is If a race is listed as a run do you have to run?

You sure don't. A lot of people who sign up for 5K's walk/run the race. The only thing that matters is that you're out there doing it. Good luck0

Usually the website will tell you if there is an official walk option. Otherwise, you could run/walk it....what are they going to do - kick you out? LOL0

Every race I've been in there have been run/walkers and even those who've walked the entire race. There is only one way to get better! Keep going!0

5k? Absolutely. There will be people who are only walking.
Some of the longer distance races do have time limits that can effectively eliminate walking. But a 5k? Go for it - you'll be fine and won't be alone.0 -
