MARCIALONGA CHALLENGES ON STRAVA, THE FINAL CLIMB AND LAST KM

Created by the millions of Strava athletes, the segments mark the most popular stretches of the track, forming a ranking of those who ride along them.
Marcialonga created four of such segments, corresponding to the four major climbs of the race.
The challenge is to join Marcialonga70k using Strava or downloading the performance later on. All times of the segment reporting date January 27^th 2019 uploaded within two days from the race, will be taken into consideration. The great thing about this challenge is that it does not matter how fast you go but how lucky you are. The winners will be in fact those skiers who rank in four distinct positions in the standings of each segment. And the fabulous prize is the free entry to Marcialonga 2020.
