The Partnership for Purpose 5K, set for April 11, 2026, in Lawrenceville, GA, offers participants a meaningful and engaging race experience. This inaugural event, taking place at Alexander Park, presents a USATF-certified 5K course (GA20038WC) that serves as an official Peachtree Road Race Qualifier, welcoming both competitive runners aiming for a personal best and those seeking a non-competitive community walk. Runners can anticipate a scenic route within the park setting, with typical race day conditions boasting highs around 72F and lows around 49F, and only a 16% chance of precipitation, creating ideal weather for a springtime run.

More than just a race, the Partnership for Purpose 5K is a powerful movement dedicated to raising awareness and fighting against fentanyl and nitazene poisoning. Organized by The Marquavies Bernard Broughton Foundation, Inc., in collaboration with Hope Dealer Outreach, the event honors Marquavies Bernard Broughton and all lives lost to these substances, while promoting awareness, prevention, advocacy, and community healing. The significance of the day is further highlighted by Commissioner Jasper Watkins III officially proclaiming April 11, 2026, as "Partnership for Purpose Day".

The start and finish lines are conveniently located at Alexander Park at 800 Old Snellville Hwy. Participants can look forward to a vibrant post-race celebration featuring music, community partners, and dedicated spaces for remembrance and reflection, fostering a strong sense of unity and hope. A virtual 5K option is also available for those unable to attend in person, ensuring everyone can contribute to this vital mission.
