2023 Riverwalk Run Series

America’s ONLY 5K Road Series that crosses 2 states!

The 2023 Riverwalk Run Series has three great events! Sign up for one or all three...

The Riverwalk Run Series will take you through the two historic stateline downtowns: McCaysville, GA and Copperhill, TN.

This one-of-a-kind, 3.1 mile course inlcudes not only two charming Southern towns in different states, but a path that will bring participants alongside the famous Toccoa River, and across the area’s iconic steel truss bridge—one of only a few left in America.

With so much to do in the area, we recommend staying the whole weekend, surrounded by the mountains and rivers of beautiful NorthWest Georgia. In addition to boutique shopping and riverside dining at Riverwalk Shops, discover the next generation of country music with LIVE performances every Friday and Saturday night at TOONEYS.

The series was created by the McCaysville Business Association, a non-profit organization, to further the goal of fostering economic, cultural and social growth within the community. Drive up for the day or spend a weekend with family and friends in one of the area’s hundreds of scenic cabins or mountain town lodging. Our region offers plenty of activates, including live music, rafting, craft beer breweries, hiking, fly fishing, and more!

Parking is free and plentiful, located right across the finish line at McCaysville’s City Park. For more information, visit the website at www.RiverwalkRunSeries.com.
