About the Partnership for Purpose 5K Walk/Run!

The course runs through Alexander Park, and the route itself carries weight beyond the footpath. This race was built around a foundation honoring a specific life lost to fentanyl poisoning, and that purpose shows up in the atmosphere. Personalized yard signs line the route, placed there by families who could not be present, so you are running past faces and names the whole way.

Packet pickup opens early on race morning before the opening ceremony. After the run, there is a community resource fair with mental health and Narcan education tables, local vendors, and youth outreach partners. The post-race gathering runs well into late morning, so there is time to stay and talk.

Common Questions About the Partnership for Purpose 5K Walk/Run!

Will I finish last at the Partnership for Purpose 5K Walk/Run!?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 39:20, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:06:47, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Partnership for Purpose 5K Walk/Run! a good first 3.1 Miles?

It is a small race (123 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 3.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Partnership for Purpose 5K Walk/Run!?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 20:23 while the median finisher took 39:20. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
