MARCIALONGA OPENS TO FOREIGNERS TOO

The countdown for the 53rd edition of Marcialonga has already started
Marcialonga, the world's favourite, confirmed in the Ski Classics circuit
From June 3rd, registration opens for cross-country skiers from all over the world
In September, registration for Marcialonga Story, Stars, Mini, Baby and Young

There is more and more Marcialonga in the world, and there is more and more world in Marcialonga: the queen of Italian cross-country ski marathons is determined to repeat the great success of last season, and after opening the registration to Italian athletes only, is preparing to grant the same opportunity to cross-country skiers from all over the world, who from Tuesday, June 3, will be able to secure a place on the tracks of the 53rd edition.
The most famous Italian ski-marathon, scheduled for Sunday, January 25, 2026, offers cross-country enthusiasts the classic 70 km race from Moena to Cavalese and its light version of 45 km with arrival in Predazzo in an event that, set in the fascinating backdrop of the Fiemme and Fassa Valleys and the unrivalled Dolomites, welcomes every year on the starting grids national and international athletes in large numbers attracted by the prestige of the event and the promise of fierce competition.
The memory of last year’s Norwegian podiums (with the Emilie Fleten and Andreas Nygaard victories in the 70 km) is still fresh. This is an exemplary proof of the success that a race, such as Marcialonga, achieves in Italy, in Europe, and around the world, with cross-country skiers who, in the last edition, came to the Fiemme and Fassa Valleys even from the United States, Mexico, Chile, Armenia, South Africa, Cyprus, Japan, Australia, Israel and Kyrgyzstan. The excellent reputation of Marcialonga is, furthermore, confirmed by the numerous recognitions that arrive each year, such as, most recently, the third place among the ski marathon races of the prestigious Ski Classics circuit in the 2024/2025 edition, already preceded by no less than 3 victories and 4 second places in the previous seasons.
International athletes will be able to register for the 53rd edition of Marcialonga from June 3, online on the event’s website or by contacting the Marcialonga offices in Predazzo. The fee will be further increased from September, but in competitions at the level of Marcialonga, it is always advisable to get a bib well in advance.
In September will open, instead, registration for the side events that will complete the already rich programme of Marcialonga in the last weekend of January, namely the Marcialonga Baby, Mini and Young for the young cross-country skiers, the nostalgic moment of the Marcialonga Story, where cross-country skiers will take to the track in historic in historical clothing and equipment, and the Marcialonga Stars, a charity initiative that sees famous faces from sport and show business compete on the snow.
It is never too early to start preparing for a race as prestigious as Marcialonga. The organising committee, under the leadership of President Angelo Corradini, is already hard at work in view of the 53rd edition of the most popular ski marathon in Italy and the world.
