Marathon No.88 - Brathay Windermere Marathon




The marathon starts and finishes in the beautiful grounds of Brathay Hall, at the Northern end of Windermere, England’s largest Lake. Brathay Hall is the home of Brathay Trust, the national charity that inspires children and young people to engage positively in their communities, and the marathon is a flagship fundraising event. 

BRATHAY - 10 in 10 Marathons..... Starts at 10:30am here each day (9th - 18th May 2014)







The course takes you through some of the Lake District’s most stunning scenery as you pass through the picturesque village of Hawkshead, towards Newby Bridge at the Southern end of Windermere.  You then head back to Brathay Hall passing through cheering crowds in Bowness and Waterhead. The race ends on the front lawn of Brathay Hall, where a fantastic atmosphere will greet you at the finish line.
