Almost certainly not. Half the 2 Miles field finished slower than 14:10, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:26:45, 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 (89 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 2 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.
The 2 Miles winner ran 9:49 while the median finisher took 14:10. That spread points to a relatively quick field, so expect a competitive front end.
