The Lundy Island Race
NEXT EVENT – SUNDAY 6th JULY 2025
Enter THE 2025 EVENT Here
We’ve all heard of it and most of us know where it is. But very few of us have run over it and nobody has ever raced on it. Until now..
This is what makes the Lundy Race the most unique Trail running experience we have created so far. Fourteen miles of pristine, wildlife encrusted tracks tended by the Landmark Trust are open for us to run, walk and crawl. Whichever way you do it, you will visit the North lighthouse traversing the undulating eastern and western clifftops, cling to the precipitous slopes and run along the central spine of the island (as well as a few sidetracks). You will definitely discover this beautiful and rugged island in all its glorious entirety, on foot and at your own pace.

We’ve chartered the MS Oldenburg to get you to the island ship-shape, relaxed and ready to go. The boat will take 250 runners. So when it is full, so is the race.
JULY 6TH 2025 RACEBOAT
We advise you read this page and the terms and conditions in full before confirming your entry.
ITINERARY
The Lundy ‘Raceboat’ will depart Ilfracombe harbour at 9am to arrive at 11am.
Race start time is approximately 12:15pm.
The Raceboat will depart Lundy Island at 6:00pm and anticipated arrival time back at Ilfracombe harbour will be 8:00pm
*Times may differ slightly from those published here.
Please note that the Boat is solely for runners entered in The Lundy Island Race and has a maximum of 250 runners.
The only other way to directly enter the race is to make your own way to and from the island on the scheduled service and book the NON-Raceboat option.
This will mean staying for a mini-break on the island in a campsite or renting one of 20+ cottages on the island or arranging a separate boat to the island on the day.
LUNDY ISLAND RACE – RACEBOAT ENTRIES
No name transfers allowed on the Raceboat entry.
**SHOULD THE FERRY BE CANCELLED FOR REASONS OUTSIDE OF OUR CONTROL WE CANNOT OFFER A REFUND.**
COMPETITOR WITHDRAWAL POLICY – PLEASE READ
We will refund 75% of the entry fee by way of a goodwill gesture until 31st December 2024.
The refund will be 50% if you decide to withdraw from the race up until 31st May 2025. No refunds or transfers will be provided after 31st May 2025.
LUNDY ISLAND – NON-RACEBOAT ENTRIES
Entry fees for NON-RACEBOAT are NON-REFUNDABLE. However, name changes are allowed up to 14th June 2024, via the online entry system. OuterEdge Events must be notified of this change. No name transfers after this deadline.
Upon arrival, you will walk uphill to race HQ in the village (approx. 15 minutes) to register and collect race number and Lundy Island Race t-shirt. Registration will be on the village green near the Marisco Tavern. This is also the start and finish of the race.
After the race you will have time to visit the myriad of historic monuments (if you’ve got anything left in your legs?), go down to a beach for a swim or just chill out in the village and have a drink and food at the Marisco Tavern or browse in the Island shop.
Each entrant will receive a Day Return Trip to the island aboard the MS Oldenburg, and every finisher will receive the much-coveted Lundy Island Race medal.
The race will be fully marked and marshalled with first aid on course and at race HQ. Fully stocked Aid Stations at both ends of the island, including the North Lighthouse.
The Distance and route will remain the same for the 2025 event.
