This is an untimed 5K held as part of a larger Relay For Life gathering, so the atmosphere around it is shaped by that event: cancer survivors being honored, remembrances for those lost, and a crowd that is there for reasons beyond a finish time. Running or walking, you are moving through something with more weight than a typical road race.
