Course

Raups Run begins near Candy Lane on Montour Ridge in Point Township. It flows southeast, parallel to Candy Lane, for several hundred feet. The stream then turns south and slightly east and continues to flow parallel to Candy Lane. It passes between two small ponds and a few hundred feet further downstream turns east, crossing US Route 11 almost immediately. The stream then turns southeast and begins flowing roughly parallel to Brookaw Drive for several hundred feet. It then turns southwest for a few hundred feet before turning southeast again. The stream reaches its confluence with the Susquehanna River almost immediately afterwards.

Raups Run arrives at its confluence with the Susquehanna River {{convert|133.86|mi|km}} upstream of the latter river's mouth.{{Citation|url = http://www.lycoming.edu/cwi/pdfs/paGazetterOfStreams.pdf|title = Pennsylvania Gazetteer of Streams|date = November 2, 2001|accessdate = October 23, 2014}}
