The Brathay 10 in 10 is an endurance running fundraising event to support vulnerable young people. The event, now in its fifth year, involves running the full Brathay Windermere Marathon course 10 times over consecutive days – that’s 262 miles in 10 days! The 13 runners taking part in this years’ 10 in 10 will complete their fifth marathon today (17th May) – half way through their extraordinary journey. You can watch the event unfold and see daily race results here: cumbrialive.tv To recognise the huge effort being made by the 10 in 10 runners this year, and to support some of the most disadvantaged young people in the UK, please text: MARA26£5 to 70070 (to make a £5 donation to directly support young people). Thank you, Scott |

me again back with the 'transport to the start query' We're staying somewhere around 27th/5th Ave, allegedly 0.6 miles from the Public library. So do I book bus from library at 5.30  or just book the ferry and make my own way to the ferry terminal at possibly a slightly more sensible hour- last ferry 8.30 am. Any help/thoughts much appreciated |

good question tubbyrunner. I will be downtown near the library too, and was thinking about taking the bus from there, but it _is_ early. jet lag works in our favour, however.

Take the bus. You'll keep warmer for longer that way.

Easier to take the subway and catch a random ferry and avoid the bus if you don't fancy sitting around for hours. They don't check numbers until you reach the race village on Staten Island anyway, or at least they didn't for me when I caught a later ferry than I should have and got on a bus at the SI ferry terminal that went to the race village.

I guess it's horses for courses. I took the bus last time & although it was ludicrously early and you end up sitting on staten island for longer, it is dead easy, very well organised, and absolutley no stress at all. I'll do it again this year and just accept it costs me a little bit of sleep.

I'm getting excited and I'm not even doing it. It's going onto the list for next year, if I'm a good boy and eat all my greens.
