After some heavy rain over the last days, the organising committee of the last FIS Marathon Cup of the season 2014/15 decided to shorten the race course from 50km FT to 35km FT, using loops of 15km and an additional loop of 5km.

Strong headwind at the start and temperatures around +6 degrees made the snow pretty soft and the conditions very hard. A lot of racers had problems with the conditions and had to drop back sooner than anticipated.

In the end, Toni Livers (SUI), who had one of his best seasons not only in the World Cup this year, could place first. Aliaksei Ivanou (BLR), who also raced more World Cups than long distance races this season, got second and Evgeniy Belov (RUS) third.
