The route runs through Edgewater Park, a wide open stretch with views of the water and plenty of flat, paved path underfoot. The crowd skews toward people recovering from joint replacements and the family members who came out to walk beside them, which gives the morning a particular warmth.

The Walk of Joints 2026 has been held every year since at least 2025. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.

Almost certainly not. Half the race field finished slower than 37:05, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:08:44, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.
It is a small race (123 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first race, that spread matters more than the winner's time.
The race winner ran 17:48 while the median finisher took 37:05. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
