Doing a century for cancer research. Was wondering if this bike is worth $250 and if it would be the proper type of bike for the ride.

It looks to be worth around that much. At 200-300 you start hitting the point where bikes stop loosing much value no matter the age. People have and do century rides on similar bikes.
However the understanding of what makes a fast and comfortable bike has changed a lot in the last 10+ years. The big change is tire size. It was thought that skinny tires pumped up to a high pressure was fast. In the real world larger tires running relatively low pressure is both fast and comfortable. I don’t know what your budget is but finding something that can run 28mm to 34mm tires would make for a more pleasant day. This bike will max out around 23-25mm.
