The fifth event in the 2023 Luxembourg Summer Urban League (LuxSUL) series, and the last before LuxSUL’s summer break until early September!

Meet at

55 am Steffesgaart, L-5222 Sandweiler.

Please park in designated parking bays in the nearby streets, not on the pavement, and walk a short way.

Public transport – infrequent, not the greatest… Sandweiler train station is 2.5km away! Buses 411 and 421 come from the Bonnevoie tram terminus or the stop Rocade 3 at the back of the Gare (leaving there at 18.35, 18.45, 19.05, and 19.15, so the timetables say, with a 12-15-minute ride). Bus 456 comes from the LuxExpo bus station at 18.20, 18.50 and 19.20, with a 10minute ride). Get off at the “Koschterjanshaff” stop – the last one in

Sandweiler, by the Esso station. Walk back up rue Principale for 150 metres, and turn left into am Gronn at the hairdressers, and left again into am Steffesgaart. Buses back to town are as scarce as hen’s teeth – 411 at 31 minutes past the hour, 421 2 minutes later, and a solitary 456 at 21.51! 
Facilities Safe storage for bags and bikes, toilets. Changing space – and even showers (bring a towel) – available.
Start times 19.00 until 19.45 or so. Controls will be removed starting at 20.45.
Entries No fee – but please sign up via the calendar in the members’ section 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 member.

Format

Two courses

  • Rabbit   3.2 km – medium, some gentle climb 
  • Deer      5.3 km – longer, a bit more climb, but still gentle

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 own SI timing chip if you can, but if not, you can borrow a LuxOC one.
Timing Timing of all participants to the nearest second, results will be published, and included in the LuxSUL league table.
Map 1:7,500, ISOM-ish, 5 metre contours. Laser-printed, on Pretex semiwaterproof paper.
Terrain All on residential urban streets and paths, no nettles or long grass this time! 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 Please stay on after the run for our Summer Social and chat. Find out how our teams got on at Jukola, and see the maps. Plenty of food and drink will be provided, but any contribution in kind would be much appreciated.
