Lundy Island Half Marathon
The Lundy Island Half Marathon is a trail race held on Lundy Island in the Bristol Channel on 28 June 2026. The course covers 13.5 miles and crosses the island via coastal and clifftop trails, the central spine and several side tracks. The start, finish and race registration are on the village green outside the Marisco Tavern.
The event offers two entry options: a Raceboat entry that includes a day return aboard the chartered MS Oldenburg for up to 250 runners, and a Non-Raceboat entry that provides race entry only; Non-Raceboat entrants must arrange their own travel to the island. The Raceboat is reserved for runners and marshals only; foot passengers are not permitted. Dogs are not allowed on Lundy Island. Minimum age to compete is 17 years.
The race is fully marked and marshalled with first aid available on course and at race HQ. There are two aid stations, at the North Lighthouse and at Castle Hill, each visited twice. A 3.75 hour time limit applies. Finishers receive a Lundy Puffin medal.
Mandatory kit includes capacity to carry 500 ml of water, trail shoes, backpack or waistpack, head cover, waterproof jacket, foil blanket, collapsible reusable cup, a fully charged mobile phone and emergency food. Refund and name‑change rules differ for Raceboat and Non-Raceboat entries; entries open 27 June 2025 and close 29 May 2026. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
