Date: February 14, 1928 41 participants from 11 countries, 30 of them in the ranking.

Due to the unusual temperature increase from three degrees at 8 o'clock to 25 degrees in the midday hours, the skiers were faced with severe wax problems that caused almost a third of the participants to give up. According to “Sport Zürich” there was “an unexpected defeat for the Norwegians and the most grueling battle in the history of the ski marathon”.
