To all Marcialonga Friend Hotels and their Guests
OBJECT: 48th Marcialonga di Fiemme e Fassa – 31/01/2021;
Dear Friend Hotels, dear Guests, in this complicated moment, Marcialonga would like to reassure you all as far as we can, in view of the upcoming events and especially reassure the protagonists of this complex machine that every year makes sure that Marcialonga is a success worldwide. First of all, we reassure you that the 48th Marcialonga di Fiemme e Fassa on 31 January 2021 will take place! There is no need saying that we will have to follow regulations and guidelines for an event in full security and the evolution of the Italian and international situation will play a key role, but the Organizing Committee will do whatever it takes to organize the event in the best way possible. We hope that you had the chance to have a look at the success of the 18th Marcialonga COOP on September 6: thanks to important changes participants, co-workers, volunteers and spectators could experience a secure event. It is based on the experience we reached in this running event and on the great result achieved that we will build the structure for the next events, as we are convinced that Marcialonga can drive the territory, sport but also the local economy. Talking once more about certainties, what Marcialonga can already guarantee is that we will prepare the slope as usual in the months previous to the race. This thanks to the support of the municipalities and to all those residents and tourists who use it (over 100.000 transitions in one season!). Another guarantee is the availability of our office, open every day from Monday to Friday and ready to answer all your doubts and questions. As said, Marcialonga commits to the realization of the event, no matter the rules that need to be followed, convinced that there is a solution to respect rule and still make a great event that everyone enjoys. We intend to deliver a strong message especially to skiers coming from abroad who need to see Marcialonga as a security for the next winter season. We know how much they love our territory and our event, but it is understandable how they have uncertainties about booking a trip abroad now. In order to encourage this aspect besides the reassurance of the event taking place, we invite you Hotel managers to share this message with them. We believe that a new approach is needed to manage the bib bookings in this year and some more flexibility should be guaranteed to all, simplifying the process.
Regarding the participants who chose to purchase a bib for the 2021 edition through one of the Friend Hotels, following conditions apply in case the event should not take place or in case participants are not allowed to Italy: -
CANCELLATION: in case Marcialonga 2021 will be cancelled, participants who already bought a bib for 2021 will be reserved a bib for 2022 paying only 50% of the entry fee.
-
BAN TO ENTER ITALY: In case Marcialonga 2021 will take place but participants from specific foreign countries are not allowed to enter Italy, the same conditions as above will be applied. This option is guaranteed to all those who are not allowed to enter Italy as their government or the Italian government do not allow it, it does not apply to those who cannot participate due to personal reasons.
We are aware of specific cases to whom these guidelines are not applicable, in this case or for any other doubt, do not hesitate to call us +39 0462 501110 or send an e-mail to info@marcialonga.it. Best regards
MARCIALONGA Soc. Coop. The President Angelo Corradini
