The event in a few words

Tick-tock, tick-tock ⏳, isn't it about time to introduce you to the next edition of the ING Night Marathon Luxembourg? 🤠

Put on your running shoes, grab your passport, and head to Luxembourg... in the city of Luxembourg, how convenient is that! 😇 This race doesn't just feature the marathon, the queen of all distances in running, oh no! It also offers 6 other distances! Let us give you a taste of the menu 🍽️, and there's something for everyone: meat lovers, vegetarians, vegans, and even flexitarians! 🤤 For those hungry for kilometers, there's the full 42 km marathon 👑, but for those watching their figure, the half-marathon awaits! 🎓 For those who enjoy sharing the experience, the Team Run is perfect. A relay of 4 on the marathon, because it’s always easier to spread the effort, like sharing a meal! 🍵 The 5k Run For Success is for those who like a quick bite! 🍫 But that's not all! The kids' menu should never be overlooked! A Mini-marathon for those over 12 👧 and a Mini minimarathon for those under 12 are set to welcome the little running stars! 👶 And to REALLY include everyone, the Roll&Run offers wheeled sports enthusiasts a 7 km race through the Limpertsberg district 🛴. Now that you know what’s on the menu, we can dig in! Because yes, the Luxembourg Marathon is a renowned event in the world of gastronomy running! 😻 And we're talking about a dinner, not a lunch! Indeed, the starts begin from 7 PM, so forget your sunglasses, it’s a night marathon! 🌙 And it's true that the thousands of lights illuminating the city are quite spectacular! 👀

To make the event even more festive, friendly, and entertaining 🎆, many activities will be available for both the young and the young at heart! So no worries for companions, you're part of the fun too! The Pétrusse Valley will be illuminated with multicolored lanterns, and music groups 🎸 (500 musicians!) and DJs 📀 will be present along the route, while a marquee as grand as it is spectacular will be set up at the Glacis. The courses are also attractive, with the marathon, for instance, weaving through the middle of the Pétrusse, which carves a lush gorge in the heart of the city 🌳, where remarkable monuments nestle against the cliffs of this beautiful city! The approximately 17,000 participants are never disappointed with this "tailor-made" organization, smiling all the way! 🏃‍♂️

If you’re not too familiar with Luxembourg, it’s never too late to explore it! 🗺️ This small European country is full of surprises! For your visit, we have a few key spots to whisper in your ear! The Bock Casemates are tunnels carved into the rock, offering a panoramic view of the Alzette Valley 🏞️. The Parc Merveilleux de Bettembourg is a perfect family excursion spot, with animals 🦆, games, and areas to relax (oh yes, relaxation is important). But you can also delve into history by visiting the official residence of the Grand Duke, The Grand Ducal Palace! 🏰 Of course, for our nature lovers, we suggest taking a trip to the Moselle Valley to discover picturesque vineyards and taste exquisite local wines 🍷 (Always consume in moderation).

So, captain, are you setting sail for the Green Heart of Europe? ⛲
