Danville's Walk to Benefit Dolly Parton's Imagination Library (1-mile fun walk) is a running race on September 25, 2026 in Danville, VA, with an entry fee of $20.
From the Organizer
Tumble outta bed and put on your biggest hair, your sparkliest outfit, and your best attitude, because Danville is hosting a 1-mile fun walk to benefit Dolly Parton's Imagination Library THIS MONTH!
In honor of a certain Iron Butterfly, we’re hosting a 1-mile charity walk to celebrate and promote literacy for all. All proceeds from the walk will be donated to the Imagination Library, an organization founded in 1995 to put books into the hands of children everywhere, in the hopes of inspiring a lifelong love of reading.
Why 12:30 PM? Because we’re workin’ 9 to 5! 😉 Grab your coworkers, make it a corporate affair, and spend your lunch break walking for a wonderful cause. Bring the whole office, rally your team, and show Danville what happens when we put our community behind a good cause!

So grab your friends, your coworkers, and your cowgirl boots (or maybe sneakers instead for this one, diva). Let’s make a little noise, spread a little love, celebrate a legendary woman, and help get more books into the hands of children everywhere.
We’ll see you there!
