One of West Orange’s most popular running events returns to Windermere this month.

The 2025 Windermere 5K/10K Run Among the Lakes takes place Saturday, Oct. 11, beginning at Town Hall, 520 Main St., Windermere.

Participants will experience one of Florida's most beautiful and unique 5K run/walk and 10K run events. The scenic run traverses the dirt roads of Windermere, passing under a canopy of century-old oaks and alongside several lakes. This family-friendly event benefits the town of Windermere’s Parks and Recreation Department.

The Kids Run is free for children ages 7 and younger, with no registration required. 

All runners (except the Kids Run participants) will receive a custom T-shirt and a unique commemorative finisher medal.

Awards will be given to the top three overall male and female; male masters, and female masters. Age-group awards are given in 10-year increments for both the 5K and 10K. Each participant is eligible for only one award.  

If you are a participant, you can pick up your race packet from 3 to 6 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 9, and Friday, Oct. 10; or from 6 to 7:30 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 11, at Town Hall.
