The Meister Family Memorial Run has been held every year since at least 2021. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.

Almost certainly not. Half the 1.988 Miles field finished slower than 14:20, and the last recorded finisher came in around 28:29, 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 (122 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 1.988 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.
The 1.988 Miles winner ran 10:28 while the median finisher took 14:20. That spread points to a relatively quick field, so expect a competitive front end.
