New race distance for the Pustertaler ski marathon
A new race distance has been added to this years Pustertaler ski marathon, 35 km or 60 km. With this new shorter distance, it will be a fantastic opportunity to race the Pustertaler course, but stop short of the harder second half of the race course, which has some nasty long climbs in the last 10 km.
Been a classic race, both distance are a good build up for those who maybe looking at taking part in the Vassaloppet later in the season. with the 60 km Pustertaler distance a good test race for the 90 km Vassaloppet event.

Roller ski training for the winter season
Roller skiing in the UK has been developing over the past few years with many ski clubs offering weekly training programs for all levels, if you are totally new to cross country skiing and looking at a winter trip then a good starting point is to contact Snowsport England, who will be able to suggest a local ski club or a number of roller ski courses which are running this summer across the UK.
With a good technical coaching and instruction on roller skis, the transition to skiing on snow is a quick process and almost all would be able to take part in a ski marathon at the end of a weeks on snow instruction.
