    Impossible to answer without knowing your fitness base and running experience.

    Is it possible - for a lot of people, yes
    Is it a good idea - not always. Again depends on how much you are running before.

    It really depends on your base fitness level and your current running levels. There are a ton of different different training plans out there if you search google or Pinterest.

    I think it could be done. I see a lot of people walk/run on race day. If your goal is to just get across the finish line before they close the course, then yes. If you aren't a runner or athletic and want to run/jog the whole thing it might be tough, but I see all shapes and sizes out there just doing the best they can.

    Why don't you try it now and see how far you get?
