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.
