Bridge2Bridge Danville is an annual spring race series in Danville, Virginia, featuring a half marathon, 10K, 5K run, timed 5K walk, wheelchair divisions, virtual 5K and 10K options, and a half-mile kids run. The half marathon begins earlier than the shorter races with a 3-hour limit, while the 5K, 10K, and timed walk start later in the morning.

The Danville-Pittsylvania Cancer Association uses these funds for practical needs including travel reimbursement, prescriptions, nutrition, medical supplies, prostheses, wigs, and patient support. Recent events have attracted over 1,000 participants, including families, walkers, runners, wheelchair athletes, children, and virtual entrants, all contributing to the same fundraiser.
