Lundy Island Race

Event overview

The Lundy Island Race is a trail running event on Lundy Island on 28 June 2026, organised by OuterEdge Events. The course is approximately 13.5 miles and visits all four corners of the island. The route includes a technical eastern coastal trail, undulating western clifftops, steep slopes and a central spine with a few side-tracks. The race is fully waymarked and marshalled, with first aid on course and at race headquarters. There is a 3.75 hour time limit for the event. Registration, start and finish are on the village green outside the Marisco Tavern.

Logistics and requirements

OuterEdge has chartered the MS Oldenburg as a raceboat for runners; the boat carries up to 250 runners. There is also a non-raceboat entry type for participants who make their own travel and accommodation arrangements on the island. Minimum age for entry is 17 years. Two aid stations are provided, at the North Lighthouse and at Castle Hill, each visited twice during the race. Mandatory kit includes the ability to carry water, trail shoes, a backpack or waist-pack, head cover, waterproof jacket, a foil blanket and a mobile phone. Failure to bring required kit may prevent starting or may lead to disqualification. Raceboat entry refunds follow a staged policy; non-raceboat entry fees are non-refundable and name changes may be allowed before a stated deadline. Dogs are not allowed on Lundy Island.
