If your goal is simply to finish the race without having to walk, I would suggest that 20 - 25mpw would be plenty. There is loads to time to build up to this. Long run? Unless you are aiming for a particular time I would suggest that a few long runs of 8ish miles should be ok, perhaps with one of 10. I don't see any particular need to run beyond the distance until you decide to "race" the 10 miler with a goal time in mind.

Broad Street is awesome. last year I cajoled 3 non-runner friends into doing it and they were about where you are now. they followed one of the generic trainign plans at halhigdon.com go check out the novice plan and see if you can find the time to train for it. but it a shot it's a great race and a lot fun
