What is Marcialonga?

How can I verify that my entry has been accepted?
Just tiping your surname (or the first part of it) on entry > start list or calling the organising committee (+39 0462 501110).

What about the start seeding?
The start-number depends on the competitor's results in the last three editions of Marcialonga (2020-2021-2022).
The ranking is transformed in percentage, which is the ratio between the placing and the starters: PLACING x 100 / COMPETITORS.
When first time entry, also Worldloppet and Ski Classics races 2020-2021-2022 could be considered if communicated on the entry-form. In this case, the seeding is based on a different criterion.
The seeding table, the waves and the percentages are available at point 5 of the race rules
