The sun is shining and runners in white Run the Bay T-shirts are milling about. Everyone is awaiting the 9 a.m. start and Milwaukee Brewers infielder Craig Counsel who will officially start them off. Counsel is a Whitefish Bay High School graduate. The run will start at Richards Elementary School and will wind its 5K way to the High School where the rest of the 75th anniversary celebration is set to take place.
One of those waiting for the starting gun is John Revitte, a 20-year resident of the Bay. His daughter, Natalie, is a volunteer at the run. She is a freshman at Whitefish Bay High.
"I'm running to benefit the cause, otherwise I would be at the gym running anyway, I might as well be here having fun," Revitte said.
