Windermere Marathon (UK)

The Windermere Marathon is now one of a handful of marathons run entirely within a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Often described as the friendliest and most beautiful UK marathon, finish this breathtakingly beautiful course, amidst a carnival atmosphere, in the grounds of Brathay Hall with its stunning views over England’s largest lake. Those crossing the finish line will receive a new medal depicting an iconic scene from their route.

The route is a 26.2 mile anti-clockwise circuit of Windermere, taking in Hawkshead, Newby Bridge, Bowness-on-Windermere and Ambleside along the way. Over half the course is run on partially traffic-free roads or roads with a dedicated running lane. It has outstanding local support and, to top it all, you get to see the inspirational men and women who will be completing the final marathon of their Brathay.
