SKIRI TROPHY XCOUNTRY IN SIGHT!
LESS THAN 3 WEEKS TO THE XC SKIING EVENT

35° Skiri Trophy XCountry on 20 and 21 January in Val di Fiemme (Italy)
Two days of CT races plus several side events
Baby and Cuccioli categories on track on Saturday
Ragazzi and Allievi to compete on Sunday

As a matter of fact, the Skiri Trophy XCountry – former Trofeo Topolino Cross Country Skiing - may be viewed as some sort of World Championship for new generations of Cross Country skiers.
Back in 1984, the Gruppo Sportivo Castello OC gave birth to the international event and next 20 and 21 January it will celebrate its 35^th anniversary.
All the races (Classic Technique is the only one allowed!) will take place inside the modern XC skiing stadium located in Lago di Tesero (Val di Fiemme), the same area where World Cup superstars will battle it up in the upcoming FIS Tour de Ski, next weekend. 
The official programme reads as follows: Baby and Cuccioli categories will get on track at 14.00 on Saturday 20, followed by the Revival event (at 15.30) together with former participants who have become today's important skiers on a national and international basis. The official opening ceremony will take place in Castello di Fiemme at 17.30 with live music, a traditional parade and the cauldron lighting part.
A comedy theatre show will entertain everyone at Tesero Cinema Teatro Comunale later in the evening.
Older categories, namely Ragazzi and Allievi, will show up at the XC skiing Stadium at 9.30 on Sunday morning 21 January. Several side events and activities are scheduled inside the arena during the day and the closing ceremony will take place at 15.00.
Every track looks perfectly set, recent snowfalls have whitened the area and the entire alpine valley now looks amazing. 
For those who plan to register to the Skirilonga combined event, the OC recommends to specify the name of the parent taking part into the Marcialonga di Fiemme e Fassa on the registration process at the Skiri Trophy. 
Registrations to the Skiri-Pinocchio event may be submitted at the Pinocchio Trophy on 3 and 4 February.
