my take
The format is the appeal: a lap leaves every hour and you stop when you decide to, so one lap is a legitimate entry and nobody is chasing you off the course. Black Cat Runners are behind it, so the trail crowd will be out in force.
about the event
The first backyard-format trail in Luxembourg, starting from the courtyard of Koerich castle. A lap of 6.7 km with 110 m of climbing sets off on every full hour, up to 24 laps, on singletrack through the Koerich forests. Entries are solo, duo or trio, and the organisers state you run as many laps as you want rather than all 24.
Preparing for 24h Backyard Trail by Black Cat Runners?
Race day is Sat 24 Oct 2026, in 20 days. Counted back from that date, a two-week taper would start on Mon 12 Oct 2026; the planner lays out base, build and peak from the day you set it. The taper is the one phase with a meta-analysed optimum: about two weeks, training volume cut by 41 to 60 percent, intensity and frequency kept (Bosquet et al. 2007). A standard structure, not a training plan and not medical advice.
Training is easier in a group: running clubs in Luxembourg
