RESPECT THE VOLUNTEERS

The people engaged in the various race services before, during and after the race are volunteers who work together with passion and dedication for the best success of the event. Respectful behavior is required of them.

INFO BEFORE THE RACE:

ABOUT SEEDING AND THE STARTING NUMBER

Information regarding the allocation of race numbers is set out in the regulation at point 5.
Race numbers are allocated based on the competitor’s best result in the Marcialonga over the last two years, in accordance with the race times specified in the regulations.
Results from the Marcialonga take precedence over all other results.
In the case of a first-time participant or a result dating back more than two years, placings in other Worldloppet and Ski Classics 2025-2026 races may be taken into account according to the ‘seeding table’ in the Regulations.
In the case of results dating back more than two years, Marcialonga may consider races from 2024 by adding one group.
The percentage achieved in the Marcialonga Light is taken into account for those registering for the first time in the 70 km race, with two groups added.

HAVE YOU NOT SUBMITTED YOUR RESULTS WHEN REGISTERING, OR DO YOU BELIEVE YOUR NUMBER IS INCORRECT?
Please send an email with your request as soon as possible, specifying the race(s), the year, the distance, your placing and time, or your FIS or FISI points.
ASK FOR SEEDING

Results from the 2025/2026 season are taken into account until 31.12.2025.

INFO FOR THE RACE

HOW TO WEAR THE BIB

A chip is attached inside the bib to record the start and finish time and intermediate passes. The chip is located on the back, so any backpack should be worn under the bib so as not to compromise its use. The chip is disposable so there is no need to return it at the finish.

TIMING

By DataSport.

GO TO THE START

On Sunday morning, the road will be temporarily closed between Predazzo, Loc. Trampolini and San Giovanni Sèn Jan di Fassa, Costalunga junction. Competitors can go to the start by using their own car and showing their bib envelope on the dashboard, which is valid as a pass.

Only competitors who have made a reservation and show the appropriate ticket can use the BUS service (bus table).

CLOTHES BAG

Inside the technical bib envelope is a plastic-coloured bag. Please insert your backpack or change-over clothes into the bag and tie the bag properly and the number sticker must be applied.

The bag must be handed in at the designated BAG COLLECTION POINT in the start area. It is not possible to enter the boxes with the bag. (ATTENTION: Do not put any valuables in the bag. No liability is accepted for bags and clothing not handed in at the designated collection point. Any clothing left in the boxes may NOT be retrieved).
You will find the bag at the arrival.

STARTING AREA AND GROUPS

Access to the starting gates is allowed only after the check-in (from 7 a.m.) and verification that the competitor is wearing the bib and that the number corresponds to the starting group (in case of starting in an earlier group, a time penalty will be applied according to the rules).

The start of the ELITE group is scheduled at 8:00 am. This will be followed by the start of the various groups at the times explained in table at point 5 of the race rules.

The opening times of the groups may vary by a few minutes and be brought forward depending on the flow of competitors or be delayed in the event of queues in the first sections of the track. It is necessary to enter the group early. If you reach the start area late and your group has already started, you must ask the race officials for permission to start.

FEEDING STATIONS

Feeding stations are provided along the course stocked with drinks and snacks (see profile map).

To protect the environment, dumping of waste outside the dedicated containers is forbidden. The OC is authorised to disqualify (or penalize) the competitors who do not respect this rule.

TECHNICAL SERVICE (BROKEN POLES) AND WAXING

There is NO waxing service available at the start.
The elevation profile shows the waxing points and technical service points where you can replace damaged equipment (poles or skis). Official staff will mark your bib number on your equipment. Any equipment provided and used during the race must be returned at the finish.
Damaged equipment can be collected from the Palafiemme in Cavalese on Sunday 31 January from 4.00 pm or on Monday, also at the Palafiemme, from 9.00 am to 12.00 pm.
After these times, the equipment will remain available at the Marcialonga office in Predazzo for 15 days, after which it can no longer be collected.

TIME GATES

The time gates are estimated based on the departure of the last competitors and are scheduled at: Canazei at 12:50 p.m. – Soraga (Molinella) at 2:30 p.m. – Predazzo at 3:50 p.m. – Cascata (km 61 – outbound) at 5:30 p.m.
If competitors arrive at Cascata after the time limit, they may choose to continue to the finish line but will be considered ‘unclassified DNF’.
Competitors who do not pass through the time gates may use the bus provided by the organisers.

COMPETITORS WITHDRAWN FROM THE RACE

Competitors who, for non-health reasons, do not continue the race can take advantage of the free scheduled Trentino Trasporti BUSES (by showing the bib) departing from every village in the Fiemme and Fassa valleys (BUS STOP).

IN CASE OF INJURY

For competitors in need of medical care, it is recommended the EHIC (please read more >).
