Will I experience hypertrophy in my legs from running two miles, three times a week, at a 7 mph pace, while consuming a caloric surplus?
try and find out cunt why the fuck would we know

not really. you'll burn some fat, and adapt to running 2 miles in 20ish minutes.
do hill sprints if you want to get bigger legs (or rather, do squats)

so will i just gain weight in fat from the surplus?
nah. this board is too anti-cardio.
I do 10 miles a week, and run at a 7min/mile pace.
If anything my legs have gotten bigger.
I focus on good form though. I focus on bouncing off my calve muscles. So my calves have gotten bigger as a result.
Also hills are great. they build your legs and lower abs.

do you not do any resistance training for your legs?
No and honestly you should be doing 10km a day otherwise your cardio is basically useless.

i'm ramping up to something like that. i'm just coming back from a long period of being sedentary and losing pretty significant weight (mostly muscle and connective tissue, since i never had much fat to begin with)
can those who said "no" explain why not?
10 KM EVERY SINGLE DAY
if you're' not runing a half maration every day you're not fit like me

You may have better luck doing sprints instead of simple low intensity running
Better yet, you can do bike sprints and develop monster quads
To answer your question, you WILL NOT develop muscle mass just by doing an AEROBIC exercise alone. You must include higher intensity ANAEROBIC exercises like sprints or weightlifting to build significant muscle mass. And of course enough carbs, fats, and protein, with an emphasis on carbs since that will be your primary energy source during your exercises.

A little bit if you're otherwise untrained.

Do hill sprints instead, your legs will blow up AND you will be more athletic.
