Reichelt Wins Overall FIS Marathon Cup

Madshus racer Tom Reichelt (GER) snags the overall FIS Marathon Cup 2014 title after the Engadin Skimarathon in Switzerland last weekend.

Reichelt finished 13^th overall in the Engadin, but after winning the American Birkebeiner on February 22, he did not even need to podium in the final event in order to win the overall title.

However, Reichelt was not far off a podium finish. Stacked deep with Olympians, World Champions and marathon specialists, the top 40 racers finished within a minute of each other in the 2014 Engadin.

2. Benoit Chauvet (FRA) 223 points*
3. Martin Koukal (CZE), 223 points*

* Chauvet and Koukal both had the same amount of points for the season, but Chauvet had more top finishes than Koukal and was therefore awarded the second place.

The 2014 FIS Marathon Cup consisted of eight races, two of which were cancelled due to marginal snow conditions.
