Lundy Island Race
The Lundy Island Half Marathon is a trail running event around Lundy Island covering about 13.5 miles of tracks and trails maintained by the Landmark Trust. The course visits all four corners of the island, including a technical eastern coastal trail, undulating western clifftops and the central spine of the island. The race has a 3.75 hour time limit, and the route is fully marked and marshalled with first aid available on course and at race headquarters.
Registration and the start and finish are at the village green outside the Marisco Tavern. On arrival competitors walk up to race headquarters from the landing point, a journey of roughly 15 minutes. Two aid stations are provided at the North Lighthouse and at Castle Hill south of the village; both stations are visited twice. Finishers receive a Lundy Puffin medal.
There are two entry types. The Raceboat entry includes a day return aboard the MS Oldenburg and is limited to 250 runners; the Raceboat is for runners and marshals only. Non-Raceboat entry provides race entry only and requires competitors to make their own travel arrangements to the island. Dogs are not allowed. Minimum age under TRA rules is 17 years.
Mandatory kit includes the capacity to carry 500 ml of water, trail shoes, a backpack or waistpack, head cover, waterproof jacket, a foil blanket, a collapsible reusable cup, a fully charged mobile phone with the Race Director's contact, and emergency food.
