How long does it take for the 3 mile run?
It depends. An average person might run it in anywhere from 30-45 minutes (10-15 min per mile). Someone who is athletic but not really a runner might do it in 27-36 minutes (9-12 min per mile). A cross country runner could run it as fast as 15-16 minutes, but most likely in 18-24 (someone new to cross country might do like 25-32). Personally, assuming you're just an average person, I think if you can run 3 miles in 33-36 minutes that's decent.

Well, that might depend on the race and the reason for postponement but in general your entry fee will be applied toward the next race. These terms are usually spelled out as part of the entry form when you sign up. Very few races will give cash refunds except in very unusual circumstances.
Ask the race organizers or read the contract, here we can only guess.
