The course

Starts and finishes in the riverside wine town of Remich, running out along the vineyard-covered Moselle hillsides toward Stadtbredimus and Schengen. Gently rolling with river and vineyard views throughout.

Where to stay

Stay in Remich itself for a walk-to-start weekend, or base in Luxembourg City and drive out on race morning.

Getting there

Luxembourg Airport (LUX) to Remich takes about 50–60 minutes by free public bus (often via Kirchberg). There is no direct rail; a hire car or private transfer is simpler with race kit.

That weekend

The riverside expo and post-race wine tastings are a highlight; the Moselle wine villages and nearby Schengen make an easy add-on.

Sample 4-day trip

Arrive, explore, race, then head home. A proper weekend, not a rushed fly-by.

  1. Day 1: Arrive

    Fly into Luxembourg (LUX). Public transport is free , but the bus to Remich takes about 50–60 minutes, often via Kirchberg, and there is no direct rail. Book a private transfer if you want door-to-door with race kit.

    Check into Remich for walk-to-start convenience , or base in Luxembourg City and transfer race morning. Luxembourg City gives better hotel inventory via affiliate search.

  2. Day 2: Shakedown Run and Explore the City

    Collect your bib at the riverside expo at Piscine Remich . Jog a very easy shakeout along the Moselle.

    Afternoon for Moselle wine tastings or a Schengen village wander. This is a rolling vineyard half, not a PB time trial.

  3. Day 3: Race Day

    Starts and finishes in Remich, looping through Moselle hillsides toward Stadtbredimus. Walk to the start if you are staying in town.

    Post-race wine tastings are part of the event. Celebrate locally and keep the evening short.

  4. Day 4: Final Day

    If the flight allows, one more riverside coffee or Luxembourg old town on the way back. Free buses to LUX work, but a private transfer is simpler with post-race legs.

    Three nights is right for a wine-country half without rushing the airport.
