The course

What you’re in for

This is a 14-mile loop of Lundy in the Bristol Channel, on tracks looked after by the Landmark Trust. It takes in the North Lighthouse, both the east and west clifftops and the island's central spine. Registration, start and finish are on the village green by the Marisco Tavern. The course is fully marked and marshalled, with aid stations at both ends of the island. Most runners travel on the chartered race boat (MS Oldenburg). It leaves Ilfracombe at 9am, the race starts at about 12:15 and the boat returns at 6pm. The boat holds 250 runners, and when it is full so is the race. Non-raceboat entries are also offered for anyone staying on the island. The minimum age is 17, and the race is not refunded if the ferry is cancelled.

Common questions

: The Lundy Island Race is one distance: Lundy Island Race (22.5 km / 14.0 miles).
: No course file for the Lundy Island Race yet, so there's no measured climb here. When OuterEdge Events publish one, this fills in.
: Not graded yet. A TRP grade is worked out from distance and climb measured off the course file, and there isn't one for the Lundy Island Race yet.
: Yes, the course is marked. Navigation skills are not required.
: We don't hold a compulsory kit list for the Lundy Island Race. OuterEdge Events confirm mandatory kit in their race information, usually in the final instructions.
: We don't hold published time limits for the Lundy Island Race. If OuterEdge Events set cut-offs, they'll be in the race information.
: We don't hold a checkpoint list for the Lundy Island Race. What's on the table varies a lot between races, so check the OuterEdge Events race information rather than turning up expecting food.
: Not yet — we don't hold a course file for the Lundy Island Race. Some organisers only send the GPX to entrants. If we get one, it goes up free, with no sign-up.
