Team Run

In the Team Run, each team consists of three runners who complete the 18 km trail course together by dividing the distance between them:

Runner 1: 5 km
Runner 2: 6 km
Runner 3: 7 km

Runner 1 starts together with all other participants in the Trail Village and runs to the first exchange zone. Runners 2 and 3 walk to their respective exchange zones before the start. They take the elevator from the Trail Village down to the Grund, cross the bridge over the Alzette, and then follow Rue de Trèves uphill.

Exchange Zone 1: Runner 2 turns right halfway up Rue de Trèves towards Plateau du Rham, behind the retirement home. Here he takes over from Runner 1.
Exchange Zone 2: Runner 3 continues further up Rue de Trèves and turns right behind the sports field towards the second exchange zone, where he takes over from Runner 2.

The route to the exchange zones will be signposted on site. An overview is also shown in the attached graphic. In addition, the exchange zones can be viewed via the Geoportal on our website, including GPS positions, making them easy to find on a smartphone while on the way.

DETAILKARTE

Equipment

Each participant needs their own cup to get water at the stations. IMPORTANT: No cups will be provided, neither with the race materials nor along the route! Other recommendations: Bring your own food and drink (water or sweet beverage), and for the long distances (27 km and 34 km), also carry a working mobile phone.

Refreshment stations

There are refreshment stations approximately every 5 km (km 5, 10, 15, and 20) where you can get drinking water. Please note that you will only receive water if you bring your own cup. Due to environmental regulations, no cups or bottles will be provided. Fruit and vegetables may be available at individual stations depending on availability, but as these are limited, please bring your own provisions.

Medals, prizes and award ceremony

Every participant, both in Nordic walking and running, who reaches the finish line will receive a medal, including all of our children. The top three runners on Sunday in each race will also receive a trophy and prize money. The times for the awards ceremony will be announced at the event.

Showers, changing rooms and toilets

Changing rooms and toilets are available in abundance in our "UrbanTrail-Village." Showers can be used after the Nordic Walking or run at the “Badanstalt”: 12, rue des Bains, 600 meters on foot from the Cité Judiciaire. Simply show your race number to access them.

Security

You are not on a closed course. Please obey the road rules and respect yourself. Injured participants must flag down another participant or call an ambulance. You also have the option of asking the nearest aid station to take you back to the Cité Judiciaire.

Children participating in the UrbanTrail remain under the responsibility of their parents or guardians at all times. Please note that you participate at your own risk and are responsible for your own safety.

Results and photos

Results will be available on our website after the Nordic walk and run. External photographers will be taking photos along the course, which you can then purchase through their website. Please note that we, as the organizers, will not take photos of you. However, your family and friends will have the opportunity to cheer you on along the course and take photos of you as well.

Environment

The organizing team strives to make the UrbanTrail environmentally friendly. Please help us avoid littering. Please use the provided trash cans! This applies both along the route and in the finish area or in the "UrbanTrail Village."

FAQ

I didn't receive a confirmation mail

Please check your spam folder. Otherwise, the following applies: if you are listed in the participant list (visible during registration), everything has worked correctly. A new confirmation email cannot be sent. Before the race, the official bib numbers will be sent again by email. Otherwise, you can collect your bib number at any time by presenting a photo ID.

How to receive a bill?

Invoices must be requested in the system during the order and registration process. Please note: we are unable to create or send any invoices afterwards if you did not select this option during the ordering process.

Do I need a medical certificate to participate?

No medical certificate is required to participate in our event.

Can I do changes after registration?

Changes are time-limited – possible online and on site:

Online changes: Deadline: 30.03.2026.
Changes (distance, name, email, bib transfer) can be made via the registration website in the “Questions” section. After the deadline, no online changes will be possible, as the bib numbers will be printed and personalized.

On-site changes: While collecting the bib the day before the race.

Distance changes are limited – only if blank bib numbers are still available! No guarantee of changes!
Change fee: €5
If the new race is more expensive → pay the difference
If the new race is cheaper → no refund
No changes will be possible on Sunday.
The name printed on the bib cannot be changed.

How is the participation fee calculated?

Our run is organized by us as a non-profit organization – not by a commercial promoter. The fees primarily cover running costs such as permits, materials, electricity, water, T-shirts, backpacks, bib numbers, timing, and refreshments. We also use a portion of the proceeds to support the many volunteers from other clubs – for example, sports, music, or youth clubs. This way, several organizations benefit. The focus of our run is not on profit, but on creating a special event filled with exercise and enjoyment.

Can I sell my race number?

You can offer them on our Facebook page. It is strictly forbidden to resell your race number for payment elsewhere. Name changes in the system are possible on the day you pick up your race number. This costs €3. The printed name on the race number cannot be changed!

I am sick/injured. Can I return the ticket?

Unfortunately, no refunds are possible 4 weeks before the event. Participation in the following year can be requested.

I don't meet the age limit, can I still participate?

Unfortunately, we cannot make any exceptions here. We adhere to legal requirements and the specific safety and age guidelines for trail runs. These rules are important to ensure the physical demands and the safety of all participants. Therefore, even with parental consent, participation is not possible. However, we hope you'll join us again in a few years – then you'll be officially eligible to run!
