Entries close this weekend (30 June) for the 2025 Brathay 10in10 challenge, so if you've been thinking about pushing yourself to achieve great things in 2025 then maybe this is your sign!

Starting in 2007 the Brathay 10in10 was the World’s first 10 marathons in 10 days stage race. The challenge is simple; run 10 laps of the stunning Windermere Marathon course over 10 days. Most participants are focused on the final prize of reaching the finish line on Day 10 - an elite few are there to race every day!

For those selected, the 2025 10in10 will kick off on 8 May with Brathay Hall providing a stunning event centre on the shore of Windermere. It is here that runners will find start/finish lines and a base for accommodation, race recovery and rest throughout the 10 days.

From the moment you enter you have access to specialist training and running advice tailored to this amazing challenge, backed up by many years of experience of the event. You also have access to one of the UK’s leading sports scientists specialising in injury prevention, treatment and rehabilitation.

The first time the chosen group all meet is at the Training Weekend in early January. There is a fully supported marathon (or however far you wish to go) and sessions on everything from fundraising through training and preparation from the expert support team. But most of all you get to bond with the rest of the fabulous team you will be running with in May.

Come May you will have your sponsored kit and all your pre, during, and post race nutrition. You will again be staying in fabulous rooms and enjoying great food. Throughout the 10 days you will have your own therapists to look after your bodies both pre and post marathon.

Organisers say: "In short you will be treated like a professional athlete. And you can all do this. The 10in10 Hall of Fame includes all ages and all abilities. Ordinary people doing a most extraordinary thing.

"Your 10in10 will live with you always. And through your fundraising you will fundamentally change the lives of many disadvantaged young people forever. Most extraordinary indeed!"
