The course winds through residential neighborhoods, starting on a commercial street in front of a plaza. It reads like a neighborhood run that happens to have a bib on it, the kind of morning where you are passing front yards and side streets rather than any dramatic scenery. Terrain is likely gentle, given the surroundings.

Almost certainly not. Half the 10K field finished slower than 1:01:17, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:57:29, 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 379 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 10K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.
The 10K winner ran 32:18 while the median finisher took 1:01:17. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
