Accidentally signed up for a hard first marathon

I signed up for my first ever marathon, but didn't look too deep into the details and it turns out it's on a super technical track and the cutoff is 5h30. It's in about 20 weeks and my fitness is average for most people I can do a 5K in like 25 minutes on road, but on trails I can barely do 12:30 miles. thoughts????
