The Alutaguse marathon, which is a part of the Estoloppet series, was held recently where the standout winners were Marko Kilp and Tatjana Mannima. Kilp, who secured a winning time of 2:00.09, was followed closely by last year's winner Henri Roos and Raido Ränkel, both finishing in the same time but losing on tiebreaker, with Cristopher Kalev and Albert Unn trailing by just one second. The competition was fierce, with over 400 skiers participating in the main race distance of 45 kilometers.

In the women's category, Tatjana Mannima finished impressively in 46th place overall, indicating a strong performance among the field of competitors, while Merilin Jürisaar and Aveli Juursalu followed her in second and third place, respectively. This marathon not only displayed the talents of the skiers but also the popularity of the event, which engaged many participants and supporters from the region.

As the Alutaguse marathon concludes, all eyes are now set on the upcoming Tartu marathon happening next weekend, which continues to build on the excitement and competitive spirit seen in these classical ski events in Estonia. Events like these serve to highlight the growing interest and participation in winter sports within Estonia, fostering a healthy competitive atmosphere and community spirit among the athletes.
