January 24, 2014 (Toronto, ON) – After hearing from some contestants and reviewing things we realized that we did not include the results from the first Marathon Cup in Italy, La Sgambeda, as we had announced during the contest launch. As such we have revised the FIS Fantasy Marathon Cup 2013/14 contest standings after the 40th Dolomitenlauf 42km FR in Obertilliach, Austria, won by Petr Novak (CZE) and Riita-Liisa Roponen (FIN) – read our coverage here. We apologize to all parties concerned.

Leading the field is team AWWW YEAAA!!! with 224 points. In second is biku marathon team with 219 points followed by team dom with 212 points. Then it’s beaujo in 4th with 210 points and team swedish is right behind in 5th with a total of 208 points.
