And they’re off!

      The Greater Whitewater Committee’s Discover Whitewater Series hosted a half-marathon and 5K, plus a W3 Fit Kid Shuffle, on Sept. 23. Local runners display their talents in the 5K event, which Whitewater Unified School District Administrator Mark Elworthy (No. 1105) helps kick off. He finished second. Whitewater residents John Ejnik and Heidi Mane were the overall male and female winners. The sixth annual event set a record for participants in the 5K, with total entries for all events 749.
