2026 WPPL-FM 103.9 Walk the Line 5K
The Walk the Line 5K is a summer riverfront 5K held in McCaysville, Georgia and Copperhill, Tennessee, with the course crossing the state line twice. The route follows the Toccoa River, passes through both downtowns, and covers 3.1 miles on all paved surfaces with a single hill. Start and finish are at different locations and timing is based on gun to chip in accordance with USATF Rule 245.
The event is part of the Riverwalk Run Series, which also includes the Trout Trot 5K and the Bigfoot Boogie 5K. Participants who complete all three events receive a challenge item. All three Riverwalk Run Series 5Ks are official qualifiers for the AJC Peachtree Road Race.
Awards are given to overall female and male finishers and by age groups including ages 0 to 9, 10 to 19, 20 to 29 and so on up to 80 and over. All finishers receive a medal. A virtual 5K option is offered in addition to the in-person event.
Logistics include shirt and bib pickup at the McCaysville Visitor Center, free parking across from McCaysville City Park, water provided at the finish, and a rain or shine policy. A course map is available on MapMyRun. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
