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. twelve 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!
