Welcome to the Windermere Marathon
Enjoy the sights and sounds of the Spokane River as you run from Post Falls, Idaho to downtown Spokane. The goal of the Windermere Marathon is to provide a world class experience to the non-elite runner.
The Windermere Marathon is a weekend fitness festival! Come and enjoy Spokane, a city with a rich running history. See why we call it "Near Nature - Near Perfect". Not merely scenic, our gently rolling, USATF certified Marathon and Half Marathon courses are designed with your PR in mind. And the races are only a part of the weekend; our Expo will feature the latest in running related products and information and our Awards Party will be a celebration to be remembered. Join us for a run along the river!Calendar of Events
