The Lundy Island Race
The Lundy Island Race is a one-day trail event held on Lundy Island, using the island's tracks and paths tended by the Landmark Trust. The route covers approximately 13.5 miles and visits all four corners of the island, including the North Lighthouse. The course runs along the technical eastern coastal trail, undulating western clifftops and the central spine of the island, with several side tracks and steep sections.
Raceboat entries include a day return trip aboard the MS Oldenburg; the chartered boat carries up to 250 runners and is reserved for runners and marshals only. Non-Raceboat entries provide race entry only; entrants who choose this option must make their own way to and from the island and arrange accommodation or ferry travel independently. Registration and race HQ are on the village green outside the Marisco Tavern, which also serves as the start and finish location.
The race is fully marked and marshalled, with first aid on course and at race HQ. Two aid stations are located at the North Lighthouse and Castle Hill; each is visited twice during the route. Minimum age to enter is 17 years. A mandatory kit list is enforced and includes the capacity to carry 500 ml of water, trail shoes, a backpack or waistpack, head cover, waterproof jacket, foil blanket, a reusable cup, a fully charged mobile phone and emergency food. Entry and refund conditions differ for Raceboat and Non-Raceboat entries. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
