I’M NOT SURE I CAN RUN THE ENTIRE DISTANCE IN THE EVENT I ENTERED. CAN I SLOW DOWN OR WALK, IF NECESSARY?
Yes. Running and walking to complete a distance is OK. In fact, mixing walking with running is a great way to improve your conditioning. Many Iris Run participants walk portions of the routes.

But, if you want to walk an entire distance, then you must enter the 5k Iris Run or 10k. Walking the entire distance in the Half-Marathon is not permitted.

There is also a time limit in the 10k and Half Marathon. You must maintain a pace of at least 16 minutes per mile.
