About the Discover Whitewater Series

The Discover Whitewater Series, a half marathon and 5k, is held annually in Whitewater, WI every September. The race promotes the City of Whitewater and highlights its greatest features, along with encouraging a healthy lifestyle for people of all ages.

The Discover Whitewater Series race was initiated by the Greater Whitewater Committee, Inc. eleven years ago in September 2013. Thanks to the continued support and growing interest, the annual Discover Whitewater Series has proven to be a great success year after year. In eleven years, the Discover Whitewater Series has been able to distribute over $274,500 to local organizations in efforts to build a stronger community. This would not have been possible without all the participants and volunteers of the race!

In addition to this challenging course and a well-organized event, the Discover Whitewater Series offers exclusive perks to all those involved, All participants receive and have access to:

  • Finisher’s Medal
  • Shirt
  • Free day pass to the Whitewater Aquatic Center and discounted day pass prices
  • One free beverage coupon redeemable at the 841 Brewhouse post-race celebration
  • Top overall Half Marathon finishers receive a purse prize

Packet Pick-Up

All race participants must pick up their packet prior to race start.

Race participants will be directed by a race marshal on where to go to pick up their own packet. We will be following an honor system for packet pickup.

Packets will include information regarding DWS’s health guidelines, race information, t-shirts, bibs, and medals. No on-site registration or t-shirt exchange will occur. Participants can register up until race day online, but anyone registered after September 1st cannot be guaranteed a t-shirt in their packet on race day. Their shirts will be mailed to them after the race.
