The Brathay 10-in-10 uses the challenging Lake Windermere marathon, which follows a complete circuit of the lake (England's largest lake), boasting many hills! Therefore, running it 10 times in succession equates to a total of 262 exhausting miles in all.
With a target time of 37 hours 39 minutes & 34 seconds, Steve worked extremely hard every day to clock an aggregate time of 35 hours 20 minutes & 44 seconds - a daily average of 3 hours 32 minutes & 4 seconds - truly amazing.
