The Lundy Island Race
The Lundy Island Race is an off-road half marathon on Lundy Island in the Bristol Channel. The course covers about 13.5 miles of island tracks and trails. The route visits all four corners of the island, including the technical eastern coastal trail, the undulating western clifftops, the central spine of the island and the North Lighthouse, with a number of side tracks. The course is marked and marshalled, with first aid on course and at race headquarters.

OuterEdge Events charters the MS Oldenburg as a raceboat for up to 250 runners; a non-raceboat entry is available for participants who make their own travel and accommodation arrangements. Registration takes place on the village green outside the Marisco Tavern; the walk from the landing to race headquarters is about 15 minutes. The event has two fully stocked aid stations, at the North Lighthouse and at Castle Hill, each visited twice. Every finisher receives a Lundy Island Race medal. Dogs are not allowed on Lundy. Minimum age to enter is 17 years.
