I'm an off-and-on runner and I'm hardly in top shape, but I ran a 10K last fall (Turkey Trot) in 47 minutes with basically a month of training, at 2-3 times a week.

If you start training now, you can easily run the Sun Run in under 55 minutes. The key is to vary your runs:

- one quicker run at a shorter distance to build speed
- one long run to build endurance
- and run on routes with hills (and preferably, pick up your pace on hills) to build strength

And of course, if you cross-train (core work, yoga, etc.), you'll definitely see a difference.
