my take

December trail running in a national park, 40 minutes from the border. Cold, dark under the trees and much better than a treadmill in the dead weeks before Christmas.

about the event

Winter trail in the Hunsrück-Hochwald national park, largely on technical singletrack, in its fifth edition. Three courses leave the Hochwaldhalle: about 46.8 km with 1,500 m of climbing at 08:00, about 33.5 km at 09:30 and about 15.5 km at 11:00.

Preparing for X-MAS Trail Weiskirchen 2026?

Race day is Sun 13 Dec 2026, in 42 days. Counted back from that date, a two-week taper would start on Mon 30 Nov 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
