2026 WPPL-FM 103.9 Walk the Line 5K
The Walk the Line 5K is scheduled for Saturday, July 18, 2026, at the McCaysville Visitor Center in McCaysville, GA. The event is part of the Riverwalk Run Series, a three-event series that also includes a spring 5K and a fall 5K; participants who complete all three receive a challenge item. All three series races are Official Peachtree Qualifiers.
The course is 3.1 miles and fully paved. It crosses the Georgia–Tennessee state line twice between McCaysville, GA and Copperhill, TN, follows the Toccoa River, and passes through two downtown areas. The route includes one hill. Start and finish are at different locations and timing is based on gun to chip per USATF Rule 245.
Event options include an in-person 5K and a virtual 5K. Shirt and bib pickup are handled at the McCaysville Visitor Center on race day. Awards are given to overall female and male finishers and by age groups from 0–9 up to 80 plus; all finishers receive a medal.
Practical details published for the event note free parking across from McCaysville City Park, water provided at the finish, race-day registration when space remains, and that the event proceeds rain or shine. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
