Mapped location of Walk the Line 5K - Riverwalk Run Series

Overview

Join the excitement of this one-of-a-kind series, which includes the Trout Trot 5K every spring, Walk the Line 5K every summer, and the Bigfoot Boogie 5K every fall, with a coveted CHALLENGE ITEM awarded to participants who complete all three.

This year's Riverwalk Run Series proudly celebrates America's 250th birthday alongside the states of Georgia and Tennessee! As America’s only two-state 5K series, our three-event lineup invites participants to experience three seasons in the geographic and cultural heart of Appalachia.

Walk the Line 5K has always been a rockin’ summer celebration inspired by Johnny Cash’s “I Walk the Line.” This year, the fun is ramping up with a Christmas-in-July twist! Expect holiday music, festive décor, and cheerful vibes as participants jingle all the way through the historic towns of McCaysville, GA, and Copperhill, TN.
Participants will enjoy a scenic 3.1-mile course (with just one hill) that crosses the state line twice through the charming downtowns of McCaysville, GA and Copperhill, TN. The route winds alongside the picturesque Toccoa River and is ideal for runners, walkers, strollers, and even four-legged friends.

All three Riverwalk Run Series 5Ks are Official Peachtree Qualifiers for the AJC Peachtree Road Race.

All Event details are posted on the Walk The Line Website!
