The organiser says that from the 2024 edition runners leave Remich towards Stadtbredimus, pass back through Remich towards Schengen and return to Remich for the finish. The start, finish and runner village are at the Remich swimming pool, and aid stations with drinking water stand every 5 km, at km 5, 10, 15 and 20.

Because of road closures the organiser sets a half marathon limit of 2 h 45 min. Runners who exceed it must take off their bib, carry it in their hand and continue to the finish on the sidewalk, and they still receive a medal. The minimum age is 18 for the half marathon and 16 for the 10 km and 5 km, following the rules of the Fédération Luxembourgeoise d’Athlétisme.
