Run from A To Z

Getting on the site is particularly easy by bus, by bike and on foot.

By car: different parking spaces are available for the runners, their companions and the spectators:

• Parking place de la Résistance
• Parking place de l’hôtel de ville
• Parking Hiehl
• Parking Belval-Gare
• Parking Belval Plaza I et II
• Parking de l’Université

Please note: the city center is not easily accessible. It is best to use the parking Hiehl or Belval-Gare and to use the public transport to the starting point.

Please allow enough time to arrive. A start under stress can prevent you from performing the run as you intended to do.

When you pick up your starting number, you get a bag labelled with a number, in which you put your belongings before the start. Please allow enough time to hand over your bag. The use of the “Sudstroum escher kulturlaf” bag is mandatory; we do not accept any other bags.

Timekeeping is done with a chip integrated in the starting number.

The start of the half-marathon and the 10 miles is at 5.45 pm. The start of the 10 kilometer is at 6 pm. Each rider will be timed individually.

The “SUDenergie Mini-kulturlaf” (1000 metres) starts at 4.00 pm.

Info : Please note that the Bâtiment 4  car park will be closed during the run, however the Cactus Car Park and the one by the City hall will be available .

The route of the “Sudstroum escher kuturlaf” not only passes along different cultural sites in the city. Musicians and music groups also play on stages and in natural sites along the route before, during and after the passage of the runners.

The first runners (10 kilometres) cross the finish line after about 30 minutes. Considering the relatively short effort, there is no need for a big catering. For the slower runners and the amateur runners, though, a regular intake in liquids and energy is important. For that reason, we provide 2 catering stations along the route of the 10 kilometres run, 3 catering station at the 10 miles and 4 catering stations at the half-marathon. Likewise, a catering station is provided at the finish line.

The award ceremony will take place near Bâtiment 4 (Domaine du Schlassgoard) on the grounds of ArcelorMittal Esch-Schifflange in Esch-sur-Alzette. This year, the “After Kulturlaf Party” merges with the “Nuit de la culture”. All information about the program can be found at: www.nuitdelaculture.lu

The results will be available on our website www.kulturlaf.lu the day after the race.

Changing rooms and showers (men’s and women’s areas) are available for runners at the stadium Emile Mayrisch. After the race, a bus will shuttle between the finish area and the stadium Emile Mayrisch (distance: about 1 kilometre).
