Marcialonga was born in 1971, when four friends decided to take part in the famous Swedish cross-country competition “Vasaloppet”. Upon returning to Italy, to their valleys in the region of Trentino, they wanted to start up a similar competition, as demanding, in a special environment full of significance and emotions which only snow and mountains can transmit.
In 2007 the baptism of Marcialonga Cycling, attracted 1500 cyclists. This race can definitely gain recognition as one of the “Classic” races in the Italian Granfondo circuit.
