What Is The Windermere Among The Lakes?
The Windermere Among the Lakes is a 5K & 10K Run, showcasing the beauty and charm of downtown Windermere. Runners pass under the canopy of mature Oak trees, along dirt roads, and amidst the natural beauty of the surrounding lakes, including Lake Butler, Lake Down, and Lake Bessie.
