Depending on how small the race is, you could maybe place. The 39-49 age group typically has a lot of runners though. With more training you could get down under a 25 minute and your placing potential would be much higher.
Don't worry about placing though. Just go do one! Those races always have plenty of walkers and fat people, so you definitely wont be getting last place or embarrassing yourself at all. And, if you're single (and I have a feeling you are), races are a great place to meet attractive, in shape, down to earth women.
