The "KINGMarathon" was shortened 5 years ago by almost seven kilometers to a total length of 64 km. In addition, the climbing got also reduced to a total of 3,150 metres. The shortened "KINGMarathon" route brings a shorter suffering time for the participating mountain bikers, as OC head Maurizio Kastlunger explains: “We have attended to the racer's wishes. The total time in the saddle will be shorter now but the riding enjoyment remains the same. We provide less quantity but even more quality.”
