Hi there, @Sadz. Welcome to the Community Forums. 

Absolutely, you can track walks instead of runs with your Charge 5. In order to do so, please follow the steps below:

Swipe right or left to the Exercise app, then swipe up to find an exercise.

1. Tap the exercise to choose it. If the exercise uses GPS, you can wait for the signal to connect, or start the exercise and GPS will connect when a signal is available. Note that GPS can take a few minutes to connect. For more information about tracking an exercise with GPS, see How do I use GPS on my Fitbit device?
2. Tap the play icon to begin the exercise, or swipe up to choose an exercise goal or adjust the settings.
3. Tap the middle of your screen to scroll through your real-time stats. To pause your workout, swipe up and tap Pause.
4. When you're done with your workout, swipe up and tap Pause > Finish . Your workout summary appears.
5. Swipe up and tap Done to close the summary screen.

Hi & welcome @Ruffinrm 

You can use the Exercise tile/app (swipe right twice) on your Charge 5 to start a walk. If you don't see Walk as one of the listed exercises, you can customize the list to include it. At the time of this posting, you can have up to 6 exercise shortcuts in the Exercise app. You can also re-arrange them so you can quickly start your most frequently used ones.

Also, @Heather-S made a video that has easy to follow steps on how to do the Exercise app customization. Although she is demonstrating on a Charge 3, the instructions are the same. Click here for her video: How to Customize Exercise app
