Lundy Island Race

Lundy Island Race

The Lundy Island Race is a trail half marathon on Lundy Island scheduled for 28 June 2026. The course is approximately 13.5 miles and runs across island tracks, a technical eastern coastal trail, undulating western clifftops and the central spine, visiting all four corners of the island. The route is marked and marshalled, with first aid available on course and at race HQ. There is a 3.75 hour time limit for completion.

Two entry options are offered: Raceboat and Non-Raceboat. Raceboat entries include travel aboard the MS Oldenburg, a chartered ferry reserved for runners and marshals with capacity for 250. Non-Raceboat entry provides race entry only; those entrants must make their own travel arrangements to the island. Registration is on the village green outside the Marisco Tavern, which also serves as the start and finish; competitors walk approximately 15 minutes up to race HQ on arrival.

Minimum age for entry is 17 years. Mandatory kit includes the capacity to carry 500 ml of water, trail shoes, a backpack or waistpack, head cover, waterproof jacket, a foil blanket, a reusable cup, a fully charged mobile phone with the event contact, and emergency food. Finishers receive a Lundy Puffin medal. Refund and name-change rules differ between Raceboat and Non-Raceboat entries. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
