The general registration for the 42nd Marcialonga, scheduled for January 25, 2015, opened on July 1 at 3pm CET. Within 10 minutes, all remaining spots for the 70-kilometer event in January were sold out.
Each year, more than 7,000 skiers from all over the world participate in the 70-kilometer classic ski race in Northern Italy, and the event generally sells out months before race day. This time was no exception.
The upcoming Marcialonga is a part of the FIS Marathon Cup and the 2015 Swix Ski Classics.
In addition to the main race, there are several other events scheduled throughout the weekend, including the kids “Mini Marcialonga,” the youth and junior race “Young Stars” and the “Marcialonga Story” vintage race.
