Event overview

The Lundy Island Race is a trail running event on Lundy Island, scheduled for Sunday 28 June 2026. The course covers approximately 13.5 miles and visits the island’s eastern and western clifftops, the central spine, and all four corners. The route is fully marked and marshalled, with first aid on course and at race headquarters. There is a 3.75-hour time limit for the race. Every finisher receives a medal.

Logistics and requirements

OuterEdge Events charters the MS Oldenburg as a Raceboat to transport up to 250 runners from Ilfracombe to Lundy and back on the race day; the Raceboat is for runners and marshals only. A non-Raceboat entry option is available for participants who travel to the island independently and make their own accommodation arrangements. Registration takes place on the village green near the Marisco Tavern, which is also the race start and finish location. Two aid stations, at the North Lighthouse and Castle Hill, are stocked and visited twice on the course.

Mandatory kit includes capacity to carry 500 ml of water, trail shoes, a backpack or waistpack, head cover, waterproof jacket, foil blanket, a collapsible/reusable cup, a mobile phone (charged), and emergency food. Minimum age is 17. Entry opens 27 June 2025 and closes 29 May 2026; refund and name-change rules vary by entry type. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
