2026 Walk the Line 5K

The WPPL-FM 103.9 Walk the Line 5K is the second of three 5Ks as part of the Riverwalk Run Series, America’s only two-state 5K series! Join us on Saturday, July 18 at 6:30 PM and run two states in McCaysville, Georgia and Copperhill, Tennessee.

This festive “Christmas in July” race features a scenic 3.1-mile route along the Toccoa (Ocoee) River and across the historic steel bridge connecting the two states.

Inspired by the famous stateline location and the spirit of Johnny Cash, the event blends summer fun with holiday flair. Participants are encouraged to dress in festive attire while enjoying a lively community atmosphere with music, dining, and entertainment throughout the Riverwalk district.

All participants receive a race shirt and finisher medal, with awards for top finishers and age groups. Participants completing all three races earn a special challenge award.

Make it a summer weekend in the mountains and experience one of the most unique races in the Southeast.
