01 / EVENT OVERVIEW

What defines this edition.

Plan the confirmed classic and free-technique weekend, including Sunday’s 09:30 start. Detailed Saturday marathon notes retain the published group times, course orientation, medical-entry documents, bib collection, fees, cutoffs and travel limitations. Times are local: Europe/Rome, CET, UTC+01:00. Historical: archive race-start photograph by Karsten11, released under CC0 1.0. The file description identifies 18 February 2012, while its camera metadata says 18 February 2011; the exact capture date is uncertain. It does not show the 2027 field, course or snow conditions. Original pixels preserved; responsive display crops.

Cross-country skiing

Valley loop and longer branch

The organiser describes a loop from St. Martin down the valley through Pichl towards Taisten, back past St. Martin, then up to St. Magdalena and back to St. Martin. Its written description highlights an approximately 200 m climb towards St. Magdalena. The 30 km choice and 42 km continuation share the entry; decide within the marked race and cutoff rules.

Route edition and final conditions

Historical: the current course page links files named loipenplan-2026 and rennen-loipe-2026. Their filenames identify older material, not an accepted final 2027 course. Unconfirmed: final 2027 geometry, elevation totals, snow-dependent changes and exact operational approval have not been established. No operator artwork is copied, traced or reproduced here. Use the organiser’s course page and final briefing for updates.

Feeding, wax and timing

The compact 2027 text lists seven feed stops: Pichl at 9, 13, 20 and 25 km, Taisten at 17 km, St. Martin at 30 km and St. Magdalena at 33 km. It lists on-course wax service at 15, 18, 24 and 30 km. Wear the timing chip visibly above the boot; return it at the finish even after retiring. The published non-return charge is EUR 50.

FORMATThe weekend includes 42/30 km classic racing on Saturday 20 February and 42/30 km free-technique racing on Sunday 21 February 2027. The detailed group and cutoff notes in this guide cover Saturday’s main 42 km classic race. Sunday’s programme is listed separately; the untimed Just for Fun group and children’s race remain distinct formats.

The organiser lists eligibility as over 16, with birth year 2011, and prohibits skating in Saturday’s classic race. The Italian 2027 compact instructions request a valid sports medical certificate or FISI card; the English responsibility clause asks entrants to declare possession of a medical-fitness certificate. Unconfirmed: the precise age-boundary interpretation, acceptance and translation of a foreign certificate, and any individual exemption or final admission are not established. Confirm your required documents with the organiser before paying or travelling.

02 / PUBLISHED PROGRAMME

ON SITE

The organiser links online registration through Datasport and says no late entries are accepted on site. Unconfirmed: live capacity, successful payment and the final checkout total have not been verified; no entry or payment was submitted.

The published classic entry covers the 30/42 km choice. A two-day entry and the reduced untimed Just for Fun category are different products. The registration page sets 15 February 2027 as the bank-transfer deadline; use the official booking route for payment instructions.. The registration page quotes classic entry at EUR 78 through 31 December 2026, EUR 88 in January 2027, EUR 95 from 1–15 February and EUR 104 in the late online period. Euroloppet-pass holders are advertised the lowest fee until race day. The package includes bib/chip, food stops, medical service, medal and a participant lunch voucher. Unconfirmed: payment fees, eligibility for discounts and your final transaction total are not established. These are dated organiser quotes, not a guaranteed Offer.

WATCH LIVE

Territory matters

The compact 2027 page lists a RAI Sport programme on 22 February at 22:00. Unconfirmed: the final transmission, live coverage and territorial availability have not been independently verified.

Unconfirmed: U.S. broadcast or streaming availability is not established.

04 / SPECTATOR ACCESS

The pin is not the gate.

The point uses the centre coordinate in the organiser’s embedded arrival map. It is a planning reference near the event base, not a surveyed start pen, parking entrance, bib desk or accessible approach. The organiser’s postal address is St. Martin 10b, 39030 Gsies, South Tyrol.

The organiser’s road directions approach via the Puster Valley and Monguelfo/Welsberg into Val Casies. It advertises approximately 1,000 parking spaces about 200 m from the start/finish, with a camper area and toilets. Conflicting sources: the English rules say parking ends at 12 pm Monday, while the compact page says 12 am Monday. Unconfirmed: the exact closing time, parking charges, reservation, snow clearance and designated spectator access are not established.

The organiser gives rail approaches via Fortezza/Franzensfeste to Monguelfo/Welsberg and links Südtirolmobil for regional buses. Its undated arrival page lists a 09:00 Welsberg-to-valley bus and a 16:30 return from St. Martin. Unconfirmed: those departures’ 2027 edition, exact stops, journey time, earlier race-day service, bookings and a usable return connection are not verified. A 09:00 departure leaves only 30 minutes before the first race start and does not establish a feasible bib-and-start arrival. Arrange both journeys before travel.

The rules offer free entry to participants with disabilities and their guides, with organiser contact at least four weeks before the race. They require a valid FISI card or sports medical certificate, with a separate exception for Just for Fun. Unconfirmed: step-free transport, parking-to-start access, building entry, toilets, adaptive equipment acceptance and individual assistance are not established by this policy. Agree the complete arrangement directly before booking.

The compact instructions place women’s toilets/changing/showers in the multifunctional building and men’s facilities in the school. Request a clothing bag at bib collection and use the designated drop outside the start area; the organiser returns bags at the finish. Lunch is listed 11:00–15:00 with the participant voucher; accompanying-person meal vouchers are quoted at EUR 18. Confirm final service locations and keep the race corridor clear.

WHY IT MATTERS

43rd edition · 20–21 February 2027

The 43rd edition is a Euroloppet race with a start and finish in St. Martin/Gsies. Its 42 km option extends the lower-valley circuit towards St. Magdalena before returning to the same base. The organiser’s current written programme supports a practical planning guide; a future race listing does not establish today’s skiing or guarantee the final route.

FIELD NOTES

A 42 km winter endurance race requires suitable training, medical admission and equipment for cold, ice, descents and close racing. Stay on the marked classic course, respect marshals and closed controls, and follow race medical decisions. The organiser describes a coordinated rescue plan and medical service; a published plan does not guarantee conditions or individual fitness. Its current rules prohibit fluorinated ski wax and litter outside marked feeding areas.

Historical: the current rules retain an ethical clause naming the 2019 race and linking a 2013 prohibited-substances list. Those references have not been accepted as current 2027 anti-doping rules. Obtain the applicable current rules from the organiser and relevant sporting authority; the old wording is not reproduced as current guidance.

The organiser says early cancellation announced seven days before the first race can result in an 80% refund or credit to the next race; cancellation on race day receives neither refund nor credit under its published terms. Participant illness/accident cancellation requires a medical certificate, and the suggested cancellation insurance covers the entry fee only. Unconfirmed: your policy cover, individual refund entitlement and final race conditions are not established. Read the accepted booking terms before paying.

Unconfirmed: the organiser’s over-16 / born-2011 wording, individual age-boundary eligibility, acceptance or translation of a foreign medical certificate, any document exemption and final admission are not established. The Italian compact page requests a valid sports medical certificate or FISI card; obtain an individual answer before paying or travelling.
