A 26.2 mile anti-clockwise circuit of Windermere, taking in Hawkshead, Newby Bridge, Bowness-on-Windermere and Ambleside along the way.

Legendary fell runner Joss Naylor MBE is Patron of the Brathay10in10. Joss will be on the start line to see all the runners off for their first marathon and returns to welcome them back after running 262 miles over 10 days.

Brathay Hall provides a stunning event centre for the Windermere Marathon. This Georgian country house overlooks the northern shore of Windermere with a backdrop of Lake District fells. Runners often tell us that the lawn at Brathay Hall, with stunning scenery all around, provides the most memorable marathon finish line experience anywhere. The grounds of Brathay Hall also provide the setting for the Windermere Marathon Festival of Running, with refreshments, activities and entertainment to keep spectators and visitors busy while the marathon takes place.
