The story

ING Night Marathon Luxembourg in Luxembourg City

The ING Night Marathon Luxembourg is a nighttime 42.195km marathon run through Luxembourg City, held annually since 2006. The route passes through Kirchberg, Limpertsberg, Belair, Merl, Hollerich, the Gare district and the city centre before finishing at Luxexpo Kirchberg. Alongside the full marathon, the event includes a half-marathon, team relay, 5K race and a kids' mini-marathon, drawing runners of varying ages and abilities.

Most city marathons send runners out at dawn to beat the day's heat; the ING Night Marathon Luxembourg does the opposite, sending its field through the streets of Luxembourg City after dark.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

The place changes

Running a marathon after dark rather than in daylight is the event's most distinctive feature, turning the standard road-race format into a moving nighttime spectacle through Luxembourg City's mix of modern business districts and historic quarters

The mystery stays covered

The course itself, threading through Kirchberg's European institutions, the residential streets of Limpertsberg, Belair and Merl, the Hollerich district and the Gare area before returning to the city centre, gives runners an unusually complete tour of the capital in one race

The city starts moving

The finish at Luxexpo Kirchberg, accompanied by lights and pyrotechnics, extends the nighttime theme right through to the final stretch, and the inclusion of a half-marathon, relay, 5K and kids' race means the event functions as a multi-generational sporting occasion rather than a race for elite marathoners alone
