Narrative:

Given clearance to taxi from ramp to runway 1. Taxiway did not parallel runway and there were several intxns before the runway. The runway was poorly marked (faded paint) and we taxied across approach end of runway onto the taxiway to runway 5. We realized our error after crossing and informed ground we would like to continue on to runway 5 for departure. Both runway 1 and 5 were active. Supplemental information from acn 86797: confusion on identify of runway led to breakdown in flight crew coordination was also contributing.
