Arlington, VA
The course runs through Bluemont Park, a green stretch in Arlington that keeps things shaded and comfortable on a morning run. The event raises money for CurePSP, a research and care organization focused on Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, and registration fees go directly to the cause. Breakfast and kids' activities are set up at the park after the run.

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 32:28, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:03:56, 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 (50 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 3.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.
The 3.1 Miles winner ran 22:37 while the median finisher took 32:28. That spread points to a relatively quick field, so expect a competitive front end.
