WHITEWATER –August 22, 2023 –The Discover Whitewater Series (DWS): Half Marathon, Half Marathon Team Event, 5k, and W3 Fit Kid Shuffle is excited to announce the registration for the Fit Kid Shuffle and Kids Korral are now live.
The 11th annual DWS will be held on Sunday, September 17th, 2023. The DWS partners with Working for Whitewater’s Wellness (W3) to host the Fit Kid Shuffle, a free race for kids. The Fit Kid Shuffle is held on Saturday, September 16th at 10:00 a.m. where kids 10 and under can join in on the fun. This one-mile course includes obstacles and pathways for participants to enjoy. Fit Kid Shufflers are provided with a t-shirt, snacks, and even their very own medal after the race.
Meanwhile, the Kids Korral, free childcare for children ages 1-10 is available for parents, guardians, or caregivers who are participating in the race. In previous years, the Kids Korral has been a great success for the DWS, as well as an important feature for runners with children.
The DWS partners with UW-Whitewater’s College of Educational and Professional Studies to make the Kids Korral possible. Members of the University’s student organization: Creative and Resourceful Educators (CARE) plan to dedicate their time to making the Kids Korral as safe and beneficial as possible.
The Kids Korral is scheduled to open at 7:00 a.m. on race day, where kids have the opportunity to play games, arts and crafts and much more. The Kids Korral will offer child supervision until noon. Parents and caregivers can pick up their kids whenever they are finished, and can continue the festivities at the DWS’ post-race celebration.
The DWS Team is excited to offer the Fit Kid Shuffle and Kids Korral once again. To register to run or volunteer, visit https://RunWhitewater.com/.
