    2026 Burra Burra on the River TROUT TROT 5K🐟 REEL IN THE FUN, WITH A RIVERSIDE RUN!

    In 2026, the Riverwalk Run Series proudly celebrates America's 250th birthday alongside the states of Georgia and Tennessee! As America’s only two-state 5K series, our three-event lineup invites participants to experience three seasons in the geographic and cultural heart of Appalachia.

    Join the excitement of this one-of-a-kind series, which includes the Trout Trot 5K every spring, Walk the Line 5K every summer, and the Bigfoot Boogie 5K every fall, with a coveted CHALLENGE ITEM awarded to participants who complete all three.

    The Trout Trot 5K coincides with Blue Ridge Trout Fest, Georgia’s official trout festival! Spring in the North Georgia mountains is spectacular, making this event the perfect way to welcome warmer weather with an active, fun-filled weekend in McCaysville and Blue Ridge.

    Participants will enjoy a scenic 3.1-mile course (with just one hill) that crosses the state line twice between McCaysville, GA and Copperhill, TN. The route winds alongside the picturesque Toccoa River, through two charming downtowns, and is ideal for runners, walkers, strollers, and even four-legged friends.

    This time of year is perfect for a cozy cabin getaway. After the 5K, stick around to enjoy post-event festivities, live music, and trout-themed fun throughout Fannin County.

    All three Riverwalk Run Series 5Ks are Official Peachtree Qualifiers for the AJC Peachtree Road Race.
