Twisted Tomato McCaysville Bigfoot Boogie 5K : Event details
The Twisted Tomato McCaysville Bigfoot Boogie 5K is a 3.1 mile road race held in downtown McCaysville, Georgia, that highlights the event series' two-state route and a steel bridge between McCaysville and Copperhill, Tennessee. The event is part of the Riverwalk Run Series and is one of three series 5Ks that together offer a Series Challenge Prize for completing all three. Each race in the series is an official Peachtree qualifier.
The course is paved and the start and finish are at different locations. Timing is recorded gun to chip in accordance with USATF Rule 245. Event organizers issue a custom finisher medal for every participant and additional awards for top overall male and female finishers plus age-group awards in ten-year increments from 0–9 through 80+. There is recognition for eligible wheelchair participants. Virtual participation is offered; virtual entrants receive the same commemorative shirt and finisher medal, mailed to their registration address.
The 2026 event was rescheduled to December 5, 2026, after November flooding affected McCaysville and Copperhill. Shirt and bib pickup, course staging, parking, and other event-day logistics will be confirmed as recovery and coordination with local officials progress. Bottled water is planned for the finish area. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
