MARCIALONGA ON SIGHT

11:11 make a wish. There are many different theories to express what the phenomenon of seeing the numbers 11 and 11 is all about. The most common one is that when you see these numbers you should make a wish, and it will certainly come true. Another theory claims that if you see the 11 plus 11 you are going the right way. And what if you read here that the 11th Marcialonga Cycling Craft is on its way, that entries are open, and that some of the most gorgeous mountain roads in the world are only waiting for you to ...cycle them up and down?
The popular granfondo road event will jump on the saddle for the 11th time in history next 4 June. Val di Fiemme and Val di Fassa in Italy's Trentino region can't wait to once again welcome hundreds of cyclists from all over the world. And all this will happen in exactly 100 days, in the little town of Predazzo amongst stunning Dolomites.
All partecipants will leave Predazzo and drive towards the Monte San Pietro uphill and the Lavazé Pass (up to 10% grade hill). Those who will pick the Mediofondo course will then head down to Predazzo and their race will be over. Two more alpine passes will be awaiting the athletes who will choose the longest route, San Pellegrino Pass and Valles Pass both surrounded by some incredible peaks and super charming sceneries. The eventual downhill back to Predazzo will cross the Paneveggio Natural Park in the heart of the Dolomites.
Several side events will be organised during the weekend such as the Expo area, the Minicycling race for kids or the new Scatto Fisso event on Friday evening.
The Marcialonga Cycling Craft race is part of the international Gran Fondo World Tour. Entry fees are now set on 35 Euro (before 2 May).
