38. Int. Ganghofer Race - wrap up report

09.03.2008 | Leutasch

Entering into Married Bliss with the 38th Ganghoferlauf  Race in Leutasch!


March 1st was a special day in the life of Manfred Marschel and Ulrike Loos. These two passionate cross-country skiers went to the altar together and exchanged vows.
In order to add a sporting start to the new chapter in their lives they also registered for the international Ganghoferlauf Race, which was originally planned for March 2nd, a day after their wedding.
As the race was postponed because of the storm ‘Emma’ they could only fulfil this part of the plan one week later. The other participants were totally astonished when the ‘Just Married’ team passed the finish line in morning suit and wedding dress, holding hands and radiant with joy. The Director of the Olympiaregion Seefeld had a small gift for the couple consisting of a package with plenty of noodles and sugo sauce “to give the pair enough carbohydrates for an energetic and harmonious married life” according to Markus Graf.
The Ganghoferlauf Race was surely also a great experience for all the other participants. Bright sunshine and good conditions on the slopes ensured that there was a great atmosphere for the approximately 360 adults and 195 children who took part. The athletes could choose between a 20 km classic course and a skating course over either 15 or 30 km on the wonderful slopes in the Leutaschtal Valley. The tombola prizes were also very special – besides the great material prizes there was also a raffle for ten pairs of high quality cross-country skis and the live radio presentation with Maria Bettina Bacher rounded the whole programme off.
