Lundy Island Race

The Lundy Island Race

The Lundy Island Race is a trail running event held on Lundy Island using island tracks managed by the Landmark Trust. The course covers about fourteen miles and follows clifftops, steep slopes and the central spine of the island, including a section by the North Lighthouse. The route is fully marked and marshalled, with first aid support and fully stocked aid stations at both ends of the island.

Race registration and number collection take place on the village green near the Marisco Tavern, which also serves as the race start and finish. Entrants receive a race t-shirt at registration and every finisher receives a Lundy Island Race medal.

The organiser charters the MS Oldenburg as a Raceboat that carries up to 250 runners; this option includes a day return trip aboard that vessel. A non-raceboat entry option is available but requires competitors to make their own travel and accommodation arrangements on the island. Minimum age for entry is 17 years for both Raceboat and non-raceboat options. No name transfers are allowed for Raceboat entries; non-raceboat name changes are permitted up to 14 June 2026 via the online entry system.

Entry refund policy: 75% refund available until 31 December 2025, 50% until 31 May 2026, and no refunds or transfers after 31 May 2026. Ferry cancellations outside the organiser’s control do not qualify for a refund.

Mandatory kit includes capacity to carry 250 ml of water, trail shoes, a back or waist pack, head cover, a waterproof jacket, a foil blanket and a mobile phone. The event operates under England Athletics rules with a permit from the Trail Running Association. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
