Almost certainly not. Half the 8K field finished slower than 52:41, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:40:25, 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 513 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 8K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.
The 8K winner ran 26:20 while the median finisher took 52:41. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
