The story

Berdorfer Laf in Berdorf/Mullerthal

The Berdorfer Laf is an annual trail running race through the Mullerthal region, Luxembourg's 'Little Luxembourgish Switzerland,' organized by Berdorfer Laf asbl since 2009. Since 2022 the race has offered two main trail distances, 6.7km and 13km, plus three separate children's races, all starting and finishing at Centre Martbusch in Berdorf. The 2026 edition is scheduled for June 6.

The Mullerthal region in eastern Luxembourg has earned its nickname, Little Luxembourgish Switzerland, from a landscape of sandstone outcrops, narrow gorges, and dense forest quite unlike the rolling farmland found elsewhere in the country, and the Berdorfer Laf is the annual race that puts runners directly onto that terrain.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The race's appeal comes directly from its terrain: Berdorf sits at the heart of the Mullerthal, a region of sandstone rock formations, forest trails, and small gorges nicknamed Little Luxembourgish Switzerland, so runners cover genuinely varied trail terrain rather than road or flat park routes

02

The mystery stays covered

7km and 13km, since the 2022 shift to a trail format, let both newer trail runners and experienced participants choose a fitting challenge on the same course, while three children's races extend the event to families rather than serious runners alone

03

The city starts moving

Organized by Berdorfer Laf asbl since 2009, the event has built an established local following, and its base at Centre Martbusch gives it a fixed starting and finishing point each year, useful for repeat participants
