Organizing the Postlaf race in Luxembourg

The Postlaf is organized every year by the Amicale de la Poste. In 2024, it attracted almost 2,500 participants.

The Postlaf starts at 10 a.m. at the Cloche d'Or, Rue Emile Bian in the Gasperich district. During this event, the runners will criss-cross the Gasperich and Cessange districts of Luxembourg's capital. The streets concerned are naturally closed to traffic. If you have to travel on this day, please avoid the area.

Prizes are awarded to the winners at 12.15pm, with a raffle draw. Each participant receives a T-shirt, and vouchers are awarded to the first finishers.

Covered by the RTL press group, the Postlaf also offers catering, a refreshment bar and on-site entertainment. The Caritas association, which helps the underprivileged , also provides a crèche service to look after young children during the parents' race.

So there's no excuse not to take part!
