Virginia Beach, VA
The course starts and finishes at Mount Trashmore park, a well-known open green space in Virginia Beach. The route is road surface and stays flat throughout, which makes it navigable for runners, walkers, and riders in racing chairs alike. Ainsley's Angels races are built around inclusive participation, so expect the field to reflect that.

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 39:26, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:05:57, 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 (98 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 5K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.
The 5K winner ran 18:33 while the median finisher took 39:26. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
