Walk the Line 5K - McCaysville, GA
Walk the Line 5K is a 3.1-mile paved road event that runs through McCaysville, GA and Copperhill, TN. The route crosses the state line twice and includes passage over a steel bridge, follows the Toccoa River, and passes through two downtown areas. The course contains a single hill and uses gun-to-chip timing in accordance with USATF Rule 245. Start and finish are at different locations.
The event is part of the Riverwalk Run Series, which also features a spring and a fall 5K; participants who complete all three series races receive a challenge item. The series is an official Peachtree qualifier for the Northside Hospital Peachtree Road Race.
Organizers provide shirt and bib pickup before the race, race-day registration when available, free parking across from McCaysville City Park, and water at the finish; participants are advised to carry their own water on course. All finishers receive a medal. Awards are given to overall female and male finishers and in age groups ranging from 0–9 up to 80+. The event offers both in-person and virtual 5K options and takes place rain or shine.
The Walk the Line 5K presents a seasonal twist with a Christmas-in-July theme, including holiday music and festive decorations along the riverfront. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
