Lundy Island Race

Lundy Island Half Marathon

The Lundy Island Half Marathon is a trail race held on Lundy Island on 18 July 2027. The course covers 13.5 miles and visits all four corners of the island, following a technical eastern coastal trail, undulating western clifftops and the central spine with several side tracks. The surface is tracks and trails managed by the Landmark Trust.

Raceboat entries include a day return trip aboard the MS Oldenburg; the chartered ferry has capacity for 250 runners and is reserved for runners and marshals only. Non Raceboat entries provide race entry only and require participants to make their own travel arrangements to and from the island. Upon arrival entrants walk to race HQ in the village, a short walk from the landing point, and register on the village green outside the Marisco Tavern, which is also the start and finish location.

The event is fully marked and marshalled and has first aid on course and at race HQ. Two aid stations are positioned at the North Lighthouse and at Castle Hill; both are visited twice. There is a 3.75 hour time limit for the course. Minimum age to compete under TRA rules is 17 years. Dogs are not allowed on Lundy Island.

Mandatory kit requirements include the capacity to carry 500 ml of water, trail shoes, a backpack or waistpack, head cover, waterproof jacket, foil blanket, a collapsible reusable cup, a fully charged mobile phone with the Race Director's number and emergency food. Entry and refund terms vary by entry type. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
