Lundy Island Race

Lundy Island Race

The Lundy Island Half Marathon takes place on 28 June 2026 on Lundy Island in the Bristol Channel. The route covers approximately 13.5 miles of trails and tracks maintained by the Landmark Trust and visits all four corners of the island, including a technical eastern coastal trail, undulating western clifftops and the central island spine. The race start and finish and registration are on the village green outside the Marisco Tavern; competitors walk from the landing to race HQ, a journey of about 15 minutes.

There are two entry options. The Raceboat entry includes a day return trip aboard the MS Oldenburg for runners and marshals only; the boat carries up to 250 runners. The Non Raceboat entry provides race entry only and requires competitors to make their own travel arrangements to and from the island.

The event is fully marked and marshalled with first aid on course and at race HQ. There are two aid stations, at the North Lighthouse and Castle Hill, each visited twice. The race has a 3.75 hour time limit and a minimum competitor age of 17 years. Mandatory kit includes capacity to carry 500 ml of water, trail shoes, a backpack or waistpack, head cover, waterproof jacket, a foil blanket, a collapsible reusable cup, a fully charged mobile phone with the Race Director's number installed, and emergency food. Dogs are not permitted. The Race Director's decision is final.

Raceboat entries have a staged refund policy, with partial refunds available until specified dates; Non Raceboat entries are non refundable though name changes are permitted before 6 June 2026. An optional entry cover is offered for purchase. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
