Marcialonga was born in 1971, when four friends decided to
take part in the famous Swedish cross-country competition
“Vasaloppet”. Upon returning to Italy, to their valleys in the region
of Trentino, they wanted to start up a similar competition, in a
special environment full of significance and emotions which
only snow and mountains can transmit. Ever since, Marcialonga has
refined more and more organization and professionalism,
balancing tradition and the spectacular as well as the presence of
professional skiers and cross-country lovers, accumulating over
210.000 participants, from 40 different nations.
MARCIALONGA:
a name with a (hi)story
Thanks to the international experience of the Organising
Committee, in 2003 Marcialonga Running was born. The race
was immediately recognised in the Italian national marathon
calendar. In 2014 there were over 1.600 participants.
Marcialonga does not stop here though! In 2007 the
Marcialonga Cycling Craft starts for the first time, an event
that in 2014 at its 8th edition reached over 2.200 cyclists. This
race can definitely gain recognition as one of the “Classic”
races in the Italian Granfondo circuit.
Participants can combine their results of all three events and
qualify for the Combined event Punto3 Craft. Either individuals
or teams can take part to this special ranking.
