MARCIALONGA STORY

The first time Marcialonga Story was organized was in 2013. It was a tribute to Marcialonga, celebrating, at the time, the 40th edition of the legendary race.

On SC Play, you can watch the event live, with English commentary. SC Play is included in the ProXCskiing.com membership.

MARCIALONGA STORY – WATCH HERE ON SC PLAY!

What makes the race special is that the participants are using old ski equipment, no skis made after 1976 are allowed, and bindings must be 75mm.

The clothing should also be contemporary with the equipment, and the skiers will receive old-fashioned bib numbers. All to create the feeling of a bygone era.

The race starts at 16:00 CET on Friday, January 23, 2026. Participants will then ski about 11 kilometers from the start in Lago di Tesero to the finish in Predazzo. But this is no ordinary race; there is no timekeeping during the race and no results lists afterward. However, the first to cross the finish line is celebrated.

The race is open to everyone, with spots for 300 participants. The event has a wide age range, and for those watching the race from home, a unique experience awaits.

You can watch the race live on SC Play, the streaming service available to ProXCskiing.com members. Ski Classics commentator Teemu Virtanen are guiding you through the race.
