Virtually every race not only allows walkers and kids but welcomes them.
The reason that serious runners complain is that people let their children line up
at the front.
The faster runners are often going for prizes for a high placing and don't need an obstacle course not to mention the danger to the kids.
Walkers should line up at the back, runners should line up in the pack about where they estimate they will finish e.g. if you usually finish in the middle, line up in the middle.
