NORDIC SKI, THE SPORT THAT YOU WOULD NOT EXPECT

Sport stopped. And this was right and respectful both from a sanitary poit of view that from a human point of view, so being close to the people involved in the global sanitary emergency.
When clinic and scientific evidence confirmed the overcome of the emergency phase in Italy -as well as in other countries- the sport sector too started to move again. 

Besides the interests of those who organize an event, the effects of a sport event regard the entire community and it affects several economic sectors: hotels, shops, suppliers just to mention some of them.
If it is true that a sport event is not a fundamental need, it is also true that a long absence of events can bring to negative consequences from an economic point of view but also from a sportive and human perspective. 

On September 6, the running event Marcialonga Coop took place with big success.
