Bude Lifeboat Run

The Bude Lifeboat Run is an annual running event held in Bude, Cornwall, organized by the local running club Bude RATs in support of the RNLI. The event features a 6-mile senior race around Bude’s cycleway, canal towpath, and off-road footpaths, suitable for participants aged 15 and above. Additionally, there are two 1-mile junior races for younger runners, divided by school year groups.

The race takes place at Bude Rugby Club, with facilities including showers, a bar, BBQ, and RNLI souvenirs. Proceeds support the RNLI’s lifesaving and educational work. The event offers chip timing for the senior race and awards prizes across individual, age, and team categories. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
