The Discover Whitewater Series takes place in Whitewater, Wisconsin, based at the UW-Whitewater Williams Center.

The half marathon course uses a route from the 1980s that heads north of the city, traversing rolling roads through the local countryside. The 5k route heads south of the university campus and includes a section on the local bike path with a bridge crossing over Whitewater Creek. Both the half marathon and the 5k conclude with a finish inside Perkins Football Stadium.
Available race distances and categories include:
- 13.1 miles (Half Marathon)
