CYCLING CRAFT OFFERS...

Next Cycling Craft, scheduled from the 2nd to the 4th of June, is a comprehensive event that will offer to bikers three unforgettable days in the beautiful valleys of Fiemme and Fassa (Trentino region, Italy) thanks to the expert coordination of the Marcialonga organising committee. The eleventh Cycling Craft will actually include three days of events with races for the most tenacious competitors, for children, teams and for all those wishing to compete in a totally new and spectacular race.
The Marcialonga organising committee works for sports lovers and sports associations, in order to offer an unforgettable experience to participants. This year, teams will receive a free entry every 10 competitors (9+1) and will have the opportunity of jointly picking up their race packet, thus making logistics and distribution easier.
Teams will then be able to compete together for the final victory, thanks to the contest “Una squadra vincente” (winning team), specially conceived for teams of 5-7 competitors, including at least one woman, and regularly enrolled in the 11th Marcialonga Cycling Craft. At least one team member will have to compete in the long-distance race, one in the intermediate-distance race and at least a woman in the intermediate-distance race. The first classified team will receive a free entry and the best starting position (1st gate) for each team member in the 12th edition; the second ranking team will receive a free entry and a better starting position for each member and the third classified team a better starting position for each member. To participate, it is sufficient to fill in the form and e-mail it to [email protected] or fax it to +39 0462.501120 by Tuesday, 30th of May.
A totally new “fixed gear” race is also scheduled on Friday, 2nd of June, with starting time at 5:00 p.m., on a short but very technical 1,000-metre-long track along the streets of Predazzo, which is also the starting point of the Marcialonga Cycling Craft (both 80 km and 135 km races) on Sunday, 4th of June.
Last but not least, children may take part in the Minicycling, a promotional MTB event for boys and girls up to 16 years and included in the Minibike di Fiemme e Fassa circuit, taking place on a 850-metre-long gymkhana in Predazzo on Saturday, when parents and relatives will have the opportunity of looking at their children and have a relaxing visit to the exhibition area, before competing on the following day.
The organising committee has published on its website a list of hotels offering special services to competitors (early breakfast, bike storage), where they can relax and rest before the race.
