ING Night Marathon Luxembourg

Tic-tac tic-tac ⏳, but wouldn’t it be time to introduce the next edition of the ING Night Marathon of Luxembourg? 🤠

Slip on your running shoes, grab your passport and head to Luxembourg... in the city of Luxembourg, that’s handy! 😇 This race isn’t just about the flagship running distance, no! It also offers 6 other distances! Here’s a quick look at the menu 🍽️ and there’s something for everyone, meat lovers, vegetarians, vegans and even flexitarians! 🤤 For the distance junkies, of course there are the 42 km of the marathon 👑, but for those watching their figure, the semi-marathon awaits as well! 🎓 For those who enjoy sharing dishes, the Team Run is made for them. A relay for 4 on the marathon, because it’s still easier to spread the effort, it helps digestion! 🍵 The "5 k Run For Success" is there for runners who like nibbling! 🍫 It’s not over yet! The kids’ menu should never be neglected! A "Minimarathon" of 4,2 km for those 12 and older 👧 and a "Mini Minimarathon" of 1 km for under 12, await the future prodigies of running! 👶 And to REALLY include everyone, the "Roll&Run" offers roller sport enthusiasts sport on wheels 🛴 and for the handisport 👨‍🦽 a 7.3 km race through the Limpertsberg districtLimpertsberg. Plus, this race is charitable and non-timed 🤗. Alright, now that you know what’s on the map, we can sit down to the table! Because yes, the Marathon du Luxembourg is a renowned event in the world of the gastronomy running! 😻 And we’re talking about a dinner, not a lunch! Indeed, starts begin at 19h, so forget sunglasses, it’s a nocturnal marathon! 🌙 Of course the thousands of city lights will really dazzle you! 👀

To make the event even more festive, convivial and entertaining 🎆, many activities will be available for both kids and adults! So don’t panic, accompanying friends and family—you’re part of it too! The Pétrusse Valley will be lit with multicolored lanterns and the musical groups 🎸 (500 musicians!) as well as DJs 📀 will be present along the course, while a tent as grand as spectacular will be set up at the Glacis. The routes are also attractive, for example the marathon route snakes through the Pétrusse, carving a verdant gorge in the heart of the city 🌳, where exceptional monuments nestle against the rocks of this magnificent town! The few 17 000 participants, smiles on their faces, are never disappointed by this "handsewn" organization! 🏃‍♂️

If you don’t know Luxembourg very well, it’s never too late to discover it! 🗺️ This small European country is full of surprises and for your stay, we’ve got a couple of key spots to whisper in your ear! The Casemates du Bock are tunnels carved into the rock, offering a panoramic view over the Alzette Valley 🏞️. The Bettembourg Wildlife Park will let you enjoy a perfect family excursion, with animals 🦆, play areas and spaces to unwind (oh yes, it’s nice to unwind). But you can also take a quick historical detour by exploring Luxembourg’s royal history at the official residence of the Grand Duke, The Grand-Ducal Palace! 🏰 Of course, for nature lovers, we suggest heading toward the Moselle Valley to discover picturesque vineyards and sample exquisite local wines 🍷 (To be enjoyed in moderation).

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