The deafening crack of the starter’s pistol set 18 runners on their way to compete in the Brathay Trust Windermere 10in10 Marathon event
Local fellrunning legend Joss Naylor MBE was yet again present at the start on a cool but pleasant Lakeland day.
The daunting endurance run, will see competitors undertaking a 262 mile challenge that manifests itself in the form of 10 marathons over 10 consecutive days. The runners are sure to gain the respect of more than just the running community as they pound the pavements and roads around Windermere, in order to raise much needed funds for charity.
The 10in10, organised by Brathay Trust, the Ambleside based national charity that inspires young people to become successful, confident and responsible citizens, looks set to raise thousands of pounds for good causes as a record 18 runners have registered for this year’s event. And each one of them will have to push themselves to the very limit of physical endurance if they’re going to complete the course.
The 18 runners are due to conclude their challenge on Sunday 20th May in conjunction with the Brathay Windermere Marathon - you can still enter and be part of the marathon!
