The Competitive Walking 5k is restricted to participants who walk the entire distance; running or jogging is not permitted in this specific category. The race starts and finishes at the Rusty Rudder, located on Dickinson Avenue.

Timing is provided by the MYLAPS BibTag system, with results based on gun time for top finishers and chip time for age group categories. Awards are presented to the top overall male and female finishers, overall masters, and the top three finishers in five-year age groups ranging from 9 and under to 80 and over.
Limited parking is available for a fee at the Rusty Rudder lot, while free parking is available at meters and side streets until 10:00 am.
