Marion Jones has not died. Her career died when she admitted to taking Performance Enhancing Drugs to win the Olympics.

This is entirely subjective and will vary wildly depending on your age and expectations. That said, in my opinion... A sub 8 min mile gets you faster then "jogging" status. A sub 7 min mile is a nice time for runners over 40 or under 13. A sub 6 min mile is starting to get competitive as a recreational runner. A sub 5 min mile is starting to get serious for a High School runner and is very good for a runner over 40 ("all american" if you are 45+). Over 1000 individuals have broken 4 minutes in the mile, including 4 American High School runners and one person over 40.

What is the average time to run 6 miles?
Depends on your speed. 6 miles per hour is a very common speed that people jog with, since if you are in a good physical condition it is a great speed to maintain for longer times. If you run any faster, it is already rather demanding to do and you need to have a rather great physical condition for you to be in.
You say the track is 400m, then ask how far you have run after 18 laps.
Your distance is 2 miles.
Your average speed is 9min per mile.
