I have 40 days to get myself into shape to run 23km.
Currently, I can only run 3km.
40 days, is it possible?

No. Generally you can safely increase your run milage by 10% each week. 23km in a little over a month is too much.

Give it a try. If you are in decent shape, you may be able to pull it off. Just listen to your body. If you need to walk some of the 23k, then walk it. Don't kill yourself. I've done 10k several times without prior training. Half-marathon once without training -- Ya, I didn't do as well as I could have and felt it the next couple of days, but I was running a race with friends and had fun.

You will probably be able to do it, but you'll be slow.
