INFO BEFORE THE RACE:

ABOUT SEEDING AND THE STARTING NUMBER

The starting number is automatically given on the basis of the competitor's best placement at the Marcialonga in the last two years, with a calculation taking into account the ranking and the number of competitors (ranking x 100 ÷ starters).
The result is a percentage and on the regulation at point 5 you can see the correspondence between percentage and starting group. To check your percentage, enter your name and surname on the page MY RESULTS >
The result at the Marcialonga takes precedence over any other result.
Only in case of first participation or a result before the last two years, results in other Worldloppet and Ski Classics 2023-2024 races can be evaluated according to the SEEDING TABLE >>
In case of results prior to the last two years, Marcialonga may evaluate the races of the year 2022 by adding a group.
The percentage obtained in the Marcialonga Light is taken into account for those registering for the first time in the 70 km, adding two groups.

YOU HAVE NOT REPORTED YOUR RESULTS ON YOUR REGISTRATION OR YOU THINK YOUR NUMBER IS INCORRECT?
Send an email as soon as possible with your request, specifying any races, year, distance, ranking and time, or FIS points.
ASK FOR SEEDING >

Requests for seeding are taken into account until 31 December 2024.

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 EvoData.

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.

FLUOR BAN

Marcialonga is FIS race, so fluor waxes are banned.

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. The number sticker, that you find inside the bib envelope, must be affixed to the bag.

In the start area, give the bag to the staff at the Equipment Storage Point (Please do not leave any valuables in the bag. The organizers are not responsible for items left unattended elsewhere. Any item or bag left into the gate and CANNOT 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.

Compared to previous editions, the opening times of the groups have been lengthened to allow for more runoff. Nevertheless, the opening times may be postponed in case of queues in the first sections of the track.

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.
