10 days to go: track conditions of Tartu Maraton are very good
Just ten days before the start, while many parts of Estonia are experiencing a shortage of snow, the Tartu Marathon track has a solid snow cover. “There is plenty of snow on the first 46 kilometers of the track, all the way from the start venue Otepää up to Palu. The last section from Palu to Elva is also in good condition, just icier in some spots. There are no signs of bare ground anywhere,” comments the course master Assar Kütt.
Race director Indrek Kelk confirms that the current conditions are very good: “The current snow conditions on the marathon track and the available weather forecasts leave no doubt that the 50. Tartu Maraton will take place. The entire track has been prepared, and all skiers are encouraged to train there.”
As of today, nearly 4500 skiers from 25 different countries have already registered for the jubilee edition of Tartu Maraton. Registration at discounted rates continues until this Sunday, February 11th.
The program of the 50. Tartu Maraton kicks off on February 17th with freestyle, vintage, and relay races, while the 63 and 31 km classic distances will be held on Sunday, February 18th.
