Marcialonga
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marcialonga is a cross-country ski race which is arranged for the last Sunday in January in Trentino in Italy. It was first held in 1971. In 2007, it was run for the 34th time.
The run begins in Moena, where the skiers first go further up Fascia Valley and along Canazei, passing Moena on its way alongside Cavalese in the Fiemme Valley.
Marcialonga runs in classic style, and is 70 km long, but in 2007, it was shortened to 57 km due to snow problems. A short race, Marcialonga light is 45 km, and goes from Moena to Predazzo.
Maria Canins won from 1979 until 1988 10 times the Marcialonga.
