Lundy Island Race

Lundy Island Race

The Lundy Island Race is a trail running event on Lundy Island organised by OuterEdge Events. The course covers approximately 13.5 miles of island tracks and trails managed by the Landmark Trust. The route visits the North Lighthouse, traverses eastern and western clifftop trails, and follows the island’s central spine with several side tracks. Registration and race headquarters are on the village green by the Marisco Tavern, which also serves as the start and finish location.

The event uses a chartered ferry, the MS Oldenburg, to transport runners; the Raceboat has capacity for 250 runners and is reserved for race entrants and marshals only. A Non-Raceboat entry option is available; those entrants must arrange their own travel and accommodation to reach the island. Minimum age to enter is 17 years.

The race is fully marked and marshalled with first aid on course and at race headquarters. Two fully stocked aid stations are located at the North Lighthouse and at Castle Hill; both are visited twice during the race. Finishers receive a Lundy Puffin medal.

A mandatory kit list applies and may result in non-start or disqualification if items are missing. Required items include the ability to carry 500ml of water, trail shoes, a backpack or waistpack, head cover, waterproof jacket, foil blanket, a collapsible reusable cup, a charged mobile phone and emergency food. Refund and name-change policies differ between Raceboat and Non-Raceboat entries. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
