For large races they ask that you go in a corral  based on your pace. After doing the freep marathon twice I learned to ignore that.  For a half my pace is about 11:00. I had to dodge walkers for 2 miles.  
to go along with this are people who run or walk more than 2 astride. 
I could go on and on. 

This was a large one. I was in the 8-9 min corral and was juking around them the whole way until I just walked off because it was hazardous and my foot was already going numb from the ankle trauma.

A group of friends used to do the Susan G Koman 5K every year.  We all had younger families, small children in various stages of infant through kindergarten.  We stayed towards the back, referred to ourselves as the stroller division.

Good news, my wife had knee replacement just over a year ago. A bit surprising that it is now basically outpatient surgery. She's just about fully recovered except for the occasional flashes she gets from a nerve or two. We did several longish walks/mini hikes while on vacation, including a few tough hills with no problems. 

The only really scary part was when she fell in the bathroom the first night post surgury. She had the walker but just went down, nothing was damaged in the process outside of her pride. She had a minor tumble earlier in the evening which turned out to be instrumental in getting her back on her feet the second time. i was asleep and she didn't wake me til she fell. 

 

Yikes! That sounds scary. I'm glad everything worked out all right.

In my case I think I was still affected by anesthesia enough to not be spooked too much.
