Dolly Should 9 to 5K

Get ready to channel your inner Dolly Parton for a dazzling dash like no other! We're proud to introduce the amazing Inaugural Dolly Should 9 to 5K, a race not against the clock, but for the love of fun and philanthropy. Mark your calendars for Saturday, January 10, 2026 at 9:00 AM, starting and ending at the delightful Mockingbird Café.

Embrace your sparkly side in a Dolly-inspired costume and take to the streets in this joyful, untimed event. Your entry—a new or gently used book or donation—supports the noble cause of Dolly’s Literacy Initiative. And once you've strutted your stuff, toast to your efforts with a complimentary mimosa and partake in the high-spirited costume contest. Join us to celebrate Dolly's heartwarming mission and spread her legacy of literacy and love—one fabulous step at a time!
