💀 Welcome to the Hottest Race This Side of the Grave…💀
🔥The Carolina Reaper Challenge! 🔥
Are you brave enough to survive the Carolina Reaper Challenge? 🌶️ The Reaper awaits. 😈🔥
Get ready to feel the
burn as you lace up for the Carolina Reaper Running Race, where scorching heat meets extreme endurance. 🔥 Whether you’re tackling the 5-mile, half marathon, 50k, or the team relay, you’re about to test your grit in the fiery heat of South Carolina this July. ☀️🌡️
🏃♂️🏃♀️ As you navigate the 2.62-mile loop at the Riverwest Nature Preserve, you’ll be embraced by the intense Southern heat, winding through rolling hills, wooden bridges, and scenic views that might just make you wish you were anywhere but here—unless you're a true heat-seeker! 🏞️
💀 It’s not just a race… it’s a battle for survival. Conquer the loop within 45 minutes per lap—or risk being left behind in the flames! 😈 You’ll need every ounce of your endurance, but don’t worry… each lap you conquer brings you closer to victory... and a refreshing taste of sweet, sweet survival! 🏅
Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned speed demon, test your limits in the heat with like-minded souls who share your desire to conquer the sun. 🌞 Come for the race. Stay for the heat. 🔥 And remember, the Reaper’s always watching.
🕰️ Race Day Details:
When: All event distances start at 8:00am and packet pickup begins at 7am
Where: Riverwest Nature Preserve
Address: 2959 New Easley Hwy, Greenville, SC 29611 *Attention: Be careful when crossing the median at New Easley Hwy which is located across the street from "Home Fur A While" animal boarding facility.
🚗 Parking & Drop-Off Info: All participants will park in the old driving range area, approximately 150 meters from the Start/Finish line. Limited parking spots are available, so please follow volunteer instructions upon arrival. We will have a designated drop-off zone near the staging area for runners to unload gear (tents, coolers, chairs, etc.) before being directed to the parking area by our volunteer team along the perimeter.
🏕 Athlete Village / Staging Area - The Athlete Village will be located between the Start and Finish lines, serving as a central hub for all runners. You’re welcome to bring a 10x10 canopy, cooler, chair, and whatever else helps you recover between laps. This is where the party lives—so share a tent, make some friends, and set up camp! Please note: While runners may stage gear at their vehicles, all parking is 150 meters away, so on-site tent setup is the best way to stay close to the action.
Course: On an old golf course the route is run on a PAVED 2.6 mile loop with plenty of shade and participant setup right at the start/finish line! The Preserve: The 240-acre Riverwest Nature Preserve was once a golf course, but now it’s the perfect place to test your limits. Rolling cart paths, wooden bridges, waterfalls, and riverfront views all surround you as you race toward glory. 🌲

2026 WPPL-FM 103.9 WALK THE LINE 5K
🎄 DASHING THROUGH THE STATELINE!
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.
Walk the Line 5K has always been a rockin’ summer celebration inspired by Johnny Cash’s “I Walk the Line.” This year, we’re turning up the fun with a Christmas-in-July twist! Expect holiday music, festive décor, and cheerful vibes as participants jingle all the way through McCaysville and Copperhill.
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.
The lively riverfront atmosphere blends summer fun with holiday magic—many participants return later in the year to experience the real thing.
All three Riverwalk Run Series 5Ks are Official Peachtree Qualifiers for the Northside Hospital Peachtree Road Race.
