Marcialonga in MN?

is there any long dist race in Minnesota that is similar to
Marcialonga og Vasaloppet? I mean flat dobbelpole race.

Yes, the Mora Vassaloppet USA about an hour north of the Twin Cities.
It is a very flat race. If you do the classic version, you won't need
much kick wax as you can practically double-pole the whole thing.

So... what does one exactly do with not much kick wax? Not glide as
well the 95+ % of the time you're DP-ing and still not have any kick
the few times you actually want it?

Yeah I'm poking a bit of fun here but really I'm interested in the
question of how folks wax for long DP-athons. Why not just glide-wax
all the way? If that's out because "well, you see, there's this one
hill" then wouldn't you want to either a) DP the hill, or b) use a
good kick-wax job in order to actually have decent kick on that hill?
I note in watching Janne's Vasaloppet videos that the lead pack does
kick when they encounter a hill and I don't see many missed kicks
there. Are they skiing on "not much kick wax" and just really
accurate kickers?
