The difference is that walking can be part of running (Jeff Galloway run walk run, for example). Running events are also a lot more than just the big events like the Boston marathon. It’s the local events, too.
Walking is a perfectly fine physical activity… just go do it then
whats the point of showing up to running event just to walk and expect a medal?
i cant cross country ski… i’m not going to show up to a cross country skiing event in snowshoes demanding a medal if i walk the course…
