The first time Marcialonga Story was organized was in 2013. It was a tribute to Marcialonga, celebrating, at the time, the 40th edition of the legendary race.
What makes the race special is that the participants are using old ski equipment, no skis made after 1976 are allowed, and bindings must be 75mm.
The clothing should also be contemporary with the equipment, and the skiers will receive old-fashioned bib numbers. All to create the feeling of a bygone era.
The race starts at 16:30 CET on Friday, January 24, 2025. Participants will then ski about 11 kilometers from the start in Lago di Tesero to the finish in Predazzo. But this is no ordinary race; there is no timekeeping during the race and no results lists afterward. However, the first to cross the finish line is celebrated.
The race is open to everyone, with spots for 300 participants. The event has a wide age range, and for those watching the race from home, a unique experience awaits.
