Marcialonga Story

29.01.2027

Reliving the history of cross-country skiing

Marcialonga Story is a revival event that celebrates the history and tradition of cross-country skiing, bringing back onto the trails the equipment and sportswear characteristic of the early 1970s.

Former Marcialonga participants, champions of yesteryear and new enthusiasts come together to share their passion for Nordic skiing and rediscover the charm, simplicity and authenticity of cross-country skiing from an unforgettable era.
Marcialonga Story is not a competitive race, but an event dedicated to all enthusiasts who wish to relive the spirit of the first editions of the Marcialonga.

To take part, you must use skis manufactured before 1976, fitted with 75 mm bindings. Boots, poles and clothing must also be in keeping with the equipment and style of cross-country skiing from that era.
