Join us for a 5K series like NO OTHER, one that crosses two statelines! The Riverwalk Run Series hosts seasonal cross-state 5Ks four times a year.

Our course takes runners through the charming downtowns of McCaysville, Georgia and its sister city, Copperhill, Tennessee – two cities united by a state line at the heart of historic Copper Basin. Covering 3.1 miles, participants will not only cross from Georgia into Tennessee and back into Georgia, but they will also run through our iconic steel bridge, with one amazing story!

The bridge was originally built in 1921 and briefly used to cross the Toccoa River in Blue Ridge. However, after the Blue Ridge Dam completion led to the creation of man-made Lake Blue Ridge in 1930, the bridge was stored for 6 years and reassembled over the Toccoa River (aka Ocoee River in Tennessee) in 1936.

The Riverwalk Run 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 stay the weekend with family and friends in nearby Blue Ridge or lease one of the many area cabins of Copper Basin for an unforgettable getaway weekend.
