MARCIALONGA • ITALY – 28TH JANUARY 2018
EVENT INFORMATION
The Italian Marcialonga is a 70km race arranged annually on
the last Sunday in January in the Province of Trento. The idea WOMEN
of the Marcialonga dates back to 1969 and is inspired by the
brilliant performance of the Italian Franco Nones in Grenoble
Olympic Games the year before, in which he took the gold medal 2 Britta Johansson Norgren LAG 02.22:46
in the Men’s 30km. As the enthusiasm for cross country skiing 3 Sara Lindborg SER 02.27:08
mounted, the idea of creating something similar to the Swedish
Vasaloppet developed. The typical Italian warmth in combination EVENT PROGRAM
with lots of imagination match the exertion of covering such long Saturday 27/1/2018
distances. 15.00-15.45 local time – Press conference
WHAT’S NEW
• Instead of two sprints Marcialonga will this year have one Sunday 28/1/2018
sprint in Predazzo and one climb to the finish line in Cavaleze. 07.30 CET – Ski Classics VIP trailer open to Media
Marcialonga has the famous 3km last climb called the Cascata 07:50 CET – Women starts
up to Cavaleze. The Climb points will be handed out according 08.00 CET – Men starts
