The Marcialonga 70 kilometer classic Marathon race took place on Sunday, January 25th. The event was part of both the regular World Cup and the FIS Marathon Cup. This made for interesting duels between the best classic World Cup skiers and marathon specialists. The big question was in other words if the World Cup skiers could beat the double pole specialist? The answer was yes, but only by a hair.
