Marcialonga Story

The non competitive revival that celebrates the history of cross country skiing with the equipment used before 1976.

26.01.2019

The revival of cross-country skiing is back for the fifth time: it will take place on Saturday, the day before the Marcialonga, so that all competitors who gather for the main race can have the possibility to join this celebration of tradition.

The programme will see the start in Lago di Tesero, while the finish is settled in the main square of Predazzo, with the total length of 11 km. But do not expect to find any chemical integrator at the refreshment station, our fathers never found nor needed it.

All male and female skiers from 16 years old can participate, but be aware that equipment will be strictly supervised before the start.
The skis must be older than 1976 with bindings of 75mm and shoes, poles and cross-country skiing clothing corresponding to that period.

Old skis and equipment rent

Good news for those who would like to participate in the Marcialonga Story but cannot find the right equipment! Mr. Giuliano Boninsegna, together with his team mates, during the days preceding the event, exhibits in the main square of Predazzo his own collection of historical and ski equipment Nynsen, produced between the 70s and 80s by him and his brother. Part of the stuff is available also to be rent to participate in the Marcialonga Story. Marcialonga also recovered various equipment so that those who are interested can have the possibility to experience the enthusiasm and authenticity of the 70s cross-country skiing.*
* the number of shoes and clothing is limited and it is recommended to reserve it in advance. 

COST:
- skis + shoes 30€ + 20€ as a caution
- skis or shoes 15€ + 20€ as a caution 
HOW TO RESERVE THE EQUIPMENT: send an email to info@marcialonga.it

We had fun to interpret the cross-country skiing of the past, singing the folk '70s song La Marcialonga:

Do not forget to have a look at the photo album on the Vintage XC ski book, the gathering of old skis verified by a commission of expert. Maybe a look in your attic could bring you some surprise.
