The Brathay Windermere marathon is one of the finest road
marathons in the UK for scenery. It's also combined with
day 10 of the "10 in 10" where 15 intrepid souls run the
same course day in, day out for ten days in a row. 262
miles.
I'm happy just turning up with the rest of the public on
the last day for the lap of honour.
It's a great course - undulating in parts, running from
just outside Ambleside all the way around Lake Windermere
passing Hawkshead, Esthwaite, Lakeside, Newby Bridge &
Bowness.
There are even bagpipers to serenade you up the biggest
hill at Mile 7!
I'd highly recommend a weekend in the Lakes to include
this marathon. It's no wonder it features in the UK's Top
Ten marathons. |
