Marcialonga: “You Have To Think Of The Start Almost As A Traditional Distance Race”

First Grand Classics race of the season, Marcialonga continues the Ski Classics Pro Tour on Sunday and is one of the season’s highlights. Team Kaskipuu’s Oona Kettunen and Juuso Mäkelä and Team Næringsbanken Stora Enso’s Kati Roivas have had a solid start to the Ski Classics season.

Oona Kettunen, Team Kaskipuu, at the Pustertaler Ski Marathon.

"It is important not to be too 'fueled up,' as the first 10-15 kilometers are crucial when you ski uphill and where the snow is slightly drier than elsewhere in the course. You have to think of the start almost as a traditional distance race, ski on the limit as much as possible, and try to hold on when you start on the easier sections. Of course, there are a lot of fast sections. It requires a lot from the core after 50-60km of skiing. Then there is the final climb, so it will not come down to a final sprint. It is a brutal endurance race," says Team Kaskipuu's Pro Team Director, Kari Varis.
