Lakeland, FL
The course runs around Lake Hollingsworth, a popular loop in Lakeland. The distance is intentionally loose, which fits the tongue-in-cheek spirit of the whole thing. It is a real race with real timing, just held with a wink. The evening start means you are running as the sun gets low, with the lake beside you most of the way.

Almost certainly not. Half the 4.16 Miles field finished slower than 56:23, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:07:01, 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 (12 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 4.16 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.
The 4.16 Miles winner ran 37:04 while the median finisher took 56:23. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
