Packet pickup happens on race morning, opening an hour before the start. Check back closer to the date in case an earlier option gets added.

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 40:12, and the last recorded finisher came in around 54:59, 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 (47 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 18:19 while the median finisher took 40:12. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
