MARCIALONGA EXCITES PEOPLE

A new event added on the Marcialonga menu in Italy's Val di Fiemme and Val di Fassa
Marcialonga Baby makes young skiers enjoy the notorious ski-marathon
Over a half of the 70k-long track already whitened
Canazei town centre too will cheer up thousands of skiers next 31 January


Excitement is certainly one of the key words in the Marcialonga world. The excitement of thousands of participants ready to rush to the Italian cross country skiing track next 31 January. The excitement of the people living in the Val di Fiemme and Val di Fassa areas at the foot of the Dolomites, who will show up beside that track on that day to cheer everyone up. And the excitement of the Italian organisers who keep counting down the days towards the last weekend of January 2016.
According to the very last updates from Marcialonga headquarters, a brand new event has been added to the programme, namely the Marcialonga Baby on Friday 29 January that will allow young children up to 6 years of age to enjoy the event as well as their elder friends and elder participants who will join one or more of the other events, Minimarcialonga, Marcialonga Stars, Marcialonga Young, Marcialonga Story plus both Sunday's races - the 70k and the Light one. All detailed information on the events are available on the Marcialonga official web page,  www.marcialonga.it.
Despite the lack of natural snow in the region, over a half of the 70k-long Marcialonga track has already been artificially whitened and the Marcialonga OC celebrated the good result at the Christmas dinner last Friday. As tradition goes, the Marcialonga track will start off in Moena and finish in Cavalese and in 2016 skiers will also cross the picturesque Canazei town centre.
The countdown to the 2016 running of the Marcialonga ski-marathon continues.
