There is only one unique and inimitable Marcialonga di Fiemme e Fassa: the world's most famous Italian cross-country skiing event is ready for a new edition, the 53rd to be precise, scheduled for Sunday 25 January 2026.Once again, this edition offers cross-country skiing enthusiasts the classic 70 km race from Moena to Cavalese and its 45 km Light version finishing in Predazzo, in an event that, set in the charming backdrop of the Fiemme and Fassa valleys and the inimitable Dolomites, welcomes large numbers of national and international athletes to the starting line every year, attracted by the prestige of the event and the promise of fierce competition. As proof of the success that a race like Marcialonga enjoys in Italy, Europe and around the world, the last edition saw cross-country skiers from as far afield as the United States, Mexico, Chile, Armenia, South Africa, Cyprus, Japan, Australia, Israel and Kyrgyzstan converge on the Fiemme and Fassa valleys. Marcialonga's excellent reputation is also confirmed by the numerous awards it receives each year, the latest being third place among the long-distance races of the prestigious Ski Classics circuit in the 2024/2025 edition, preceded by three victories and four second places in previous seasons. There will also be a number of side events on the last weekend of January to complement Marcialonga's already packed programme, namely Marcialonga Baby, Mini and Young for young cross-country skiers, the nostalgic Marcialonga Story, where cross-country skiers will take to the slopes in historical clothing and equipment, and Marcialonga Stars, a charity initiative that sees well-known faces from the worlds of sport and entertainment compete on the snow. It is never too early to start preparing for a prestigious race like Marcialonga, as the organising committee is well aware, already hard at work in preparation for the 53rd edition of the most popular cross-country skiing event in Italy and around the world.
