Charity Partners to Receive Guaranteed Entries While Driving Community Impact
ATLANTA - April 28, 2026 - Atlanta Track Club has selected twelve Atlanta-based nonprofit organizations to participate in the 2026 Northside Hospital Peachtree with a Purpose Official Charity Partner Program. Each organization will receive a limited number of guaranteed entries for the 57th Running of the Peachtree on July 4.
Through the program, runners can secure a guaranteed entry by committing to fundraise in support of one of the selected nonprofit partners, connecting their race experience to meaningful impact across the Atlanta community.
As the Peachtree returns on Independence Day during the United States' 250th anniversary, this year's theme, Peachtree Unites, reflects the power of bringing people together across causes, communities and shared purpose.
"Peachtree Unites reflects what this race has always stood for: bringing people together around shared purpose," said Rich Kenah, CEO of Atlanta Track Club and race director of the Peachtree. "As we mark America's 250th anniversary, Peachtree with a Purpose gives runners a meaningful way to celebrate by supporting organizations that are strengthening our community."
