This is a nighttime race with a glow-in-the-dark theme, so expect color, lights, and costumes rather than a clock-focused atmosphere. The event raises money for a student support program at the local middle school, and the school grounds give it a neighborhood feel. Prizes go to the most creative costumes, so many runners come dressed to compete on that front as much as the course.

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 34:03, and the last recorded finisher came in around 58:16, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.
A field of 339 is big enough that you will have company at your pace without feeling lost in a crowd. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 3.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.
The 3.1 Miles winner ran 17:38 while the median finisher took 34:03. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
