Marathon
The Brathay Windermere Marathon raises thousands of pounds for Brathay Trust. On May 16, 2010, it will enter its fourth year as one of the best running events in the country.
Brathay Windermere Marathon, 16 May 2010
Following an incredible lakeside route, the Brathay Windermere Marathon takes in Hawkshead, Newby Bridge, Bowness and Windermere. In 2009, 1000 runners enjoyed the stunning scenery throughout the challenging 26.2mile circuit starting and finishing at Brathay Hall, Ambleside. We hope for even more in 2010.
In association with the marathon there will also be a FREE open day. Spectators of the marathon, visitors to the area and the local community are invited to Brathay Hall Estate to help support the runners and enjoy a range of entertainment, activities and refreshments. There will be everything from a jazz band, local brewery beer tent, BBQ, high ropes challenge course, canoeing, children's activities and plenty more to keep everyone busy throughout the day.
Brathay 10 in 10 Challenge, 7 - 16 May 2010
As if one marathon wasn't enough, 16 runners from across the UK will take part in the Brathay 10 in 10 challenge. Starting on 7th May they will run the marathon circuit for ten consecutive days, joining the Brathay Windermere Marathon runners to complete their final circuit on May 16th. One of those runners will be Steve Edwards, returning for his fourth 10 in 10. Steve is well on his way to reaching his ambition of a world record for 500 sub 3hours 30 minutes marathons by 2012.
