Lundy Island Half Marathon
The Lundy Island Race takes place on 18 July 2027 on Lundy Island in the Bristol Channel. The event is organised as a trail half marathon over coastal and inland tracks.
The course is roughly 13.5 miles and visits all four corners of the island. Runners traverse a technical eastern coastal trail, undulating western clifftops, the central spine of the island and a few side tracks. A 3.75 hour time limit applies. The race is fully marked and marshalled, with first aid at race HQ and on course. Two aid stations are located at the North Lighthouse and at Castle Hill; both stations are visited twice. Registration and race HQ are on the village green outside the Marisco Tavern, which also serves as the start and finish location.
There are two entry types: a Raceboat entry that includes travel aboard a chartered ferry that carries up to 250 runners, and a Non-Raceboat entry that provides race entry only, requiring participants to make their own way to the island. The Raceboat is reserved for runners and marshals only. Minimum entry age is 17 years.
Mandatory kit includes capacity to carry 500 ml of water, trail shoes, a backpack or waistpack, head cover, waterproof jacket, foil blanket, a collapsible or reusable cup, a fully charged mobile phone with the Race Director's number installed, and emergency food. Finishers receive a Lundy Puffin medal.
Entry periods run from 26 June 2026 to 18 June 2027. Refund and name-change rules vary by entry type; non-Raceboat entries are non-refundable. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
