20. Windermere Marathon *(Brathay 10 Marathons in 10 Days 01.05-10.05.2026)
Description
The Windermere Marathon takes place on June 14, 2026, embedded in the Lake District Ultra Challenge weekend, starting in Kendal and finishing in Ambleside. This breathtaking route covers 42 km with approximately 1,200 meters of ascent (over Garburn Pass and along the '5 Lakes' region), including spectacular viewpoints and challenging sections. The entry fee for the pure marathon route ("Self-Fund") is £139; alternatively, charity packages are available (e.g., £139 + fundraising) ([ultrachallenge.com](https://www.ultrachallenge.com/marathons/?utm_source=openai)).
Historically, the Windermere Marathon is known as one of the most beautiful and friendliest marathon routes in the UK, originally organized by the Brathay Trust and since 2025 by the Great Run Company – this event has been taking place since the 2000s and combines classic scenery with modern organization ([brathaychallenges.com](https://www.brathaychallenges.com/event/windermere-marathon/?utm_source=openai)). The weather in June in the region is typically mild to changeable, with average temperatures around 15 °C and occasional rain, especially in higher elevations like Garburn Pass – an aspect that many participants praised last year as refreshing (historical weather data assumed).
Information on registration shows no lottery system; participation occurs through direct registration or charity place allocation, particularly within the framework of the Ultra Challenge system. The Lift Challenge series (Lake District Ultra Challenge) offers various distances (10 km, 25 km, marathon, 50 km, 100 km) and supportive services such as refreshment stations, medical care, and finisher medal & T-shirt ([hopeandhomes.org](https://www.hopeandhomes.org/get-involved/events-challenges/lake-district-ultra-challenge-2026/?utm_source=openai)).
Overall, a participant count in the range of 100 to 999 registrations for the Windermere Marathon is expected, according to Ahotu's estimate "Event size: 100 – 999 participants" ([ahotu.com](https://www.ahotu.com/event/asics-windermere-marathon?utm_source=openai)). The structured embedding in a larger challenge (Lake District Ultra Challenge) suggests that up to 2,000 participants across all distances are active ([thefelixproject.org](https://thefelixproject.org/lake-district-challenge?utm_source=openai)). Therefore, a realistic estimate of participants for the marathon distance alone is about 1,000 runners.
