Discover Whitewater Series
The Discover Whitewater Series is an annual race day in Whitewater, Wisconsin, organized by the Greater Whitewater Committee. The event includes multiple races held on and around the UW‑Whitewater campus and surrounding roads, and proceeds support local charities.
The event features these race options:
- Half Marathon
- 5K
- 5K Teams with four-person teams and combined times
- Fit Kid Shuffle for children
- Kid's Korral supervised activity area
The 2026 course plan returns to a retro half marathon route north of Whitewater on gently rolling roads that showcase countryside views. The 5K runs south of campus and includes a scenic section on the bike path with a bridge crossing of Whitewater Creek. Both races finish on the field at Perkins Football Stadium.
Participants receive on-site items and services depending on registration: a finisher’s medal for half marathon and 5K finishers, a race day shirt when available, and packets that include bib and pins. Additional participant benefits listed by the organizer include a free day pass to the Whitewater Aquatic Center, discounted additional passes, and a beverage coupon for a post-race celebration at 841 Brewhouse. The half marathon awards a purse prize to top overall finishers; specific cash prizes are published for first through third place.
Packet pick-up is located at UW‑Whitewater (DLK Gymnasium, Parking Lot 11). The race reports that online registration is available for most events until race day. Over the event history, more than $314,000 has been distributed to local organizations. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
