4: No, they have too many people to make that distance work.
If each member only wants to run 1/4 mile and there are 9 members, then the total distance covered would be 9 * 1/4 mile = 9/4 miles. Since the total distance of the race is 2 1/2 miles, the members would need to cover a greater distance than what they desire. Thus, it is not possible for each member to run only 1/4 mile in the 2 1/2 mile race.
