It is a genuine fundraiser with a cause attached to it, not just a race with a charity name on the bib. The age category awards go deep, so runners across a wide range of ages are competing for hardware.

Almost certainly not. Half the 4 Miles field finished slower than 40:44, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:02:53, 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 (170 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 4 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.
The 4 Miles winner ran 20:56 while the median finisher took 40:44. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
