The third event in the 2023 Luxembourg Summer Urban League (LuxSUL) series, and an event for the IOF World Orienteering Day
| Meet at |
Open-air car park at the end of Blvd Gr-D Charlotte, L-9024 Ettelbruck. 400 metres SW of the railway station, across the footbridge over the Alzette beside the railway. See https://goo.gl/maps/V7YJDG95n3SL4Qxg9. If arriving by car from the south, take the first exit at the roundabout immediately before you reach the Alzette bridge in the town centre. Parking – In the car park that is the meeting point. Public transport – the train might be a cheaper bet! Trains leave Luxembourg Gare at 17.55 (slow), 18.16 (fast), 18.25 (slow), 18.44 (semifast), and 18.55 (slow). All stop at Pfaffenthal 4 minutes later. Trains leave Walferdange at 18.06 (slow), 18.36 (slow), 18.54 (semi-fast, does not stop at Heisdorf)), and 19.06 (slow). Trains back leave at xx.16 (fast), xx.26 (slow), xx.46 (semi-fast) and xx.56 (slow) each hour during the evening. |
| Facilities | Essentially none, but bags can be left safely. Maybe toilets at Ettelbruck railway station. |
| Start times | 19.00 until 19.45 or so, but please be ready to run very promptly if you come on the latest train listed above. Controls will be removed starting at 20.45. |
| Entries | No fee – but please sign up on the Club website, saying which course you would like to do. Or let orienteer@orienteering.lu know at least a day in advance if you plan to come, and are not a LuxOC Club member (why not join?!). |
| Start point | Start and finish are both adjacent to the meeting point. |
| Format |
Two courses
Distances are straight line – optimum routes are about 50% longer. Controls must be visited in the order set. Flags are 15cm kites – timing at each control using SPORTident (SIAC enabled). Bring your SI timing chip if you can, but if not, you can borrow one of the Club’s. |
| Timing | Timing of all participants to the nearest second, results will be published, and included in the LuxSUL league table. |
| Map | 1:7,500, ISSprOM, 5 metre contours. May 2023 ground survey by Cedric Guthier, so vastly better than the usual LuxSUL mapping! Laser-printed, on Pretex semi-waterproof paper. |
| Terrain | Town centre (quite intricate) and residential urban streets, park/ sports ground S of the River Alzette. Training shoes optimal. |
| Safety |
Everyone takes part entirely at their own risk. Please take great care, especially on or crossing the more main roads. High visibility clothing strongly recommended. |
| After the run | A nearby bar - to be decided. |
