The Medoc Marathon
About The Medoc Marathon
Who said that the pleasures of wine and running were incompatible? Created in 1985 by a group of marathon friends and managed by a team of volunteers since, this unusual race of 42,195 km brings together each year in September nearly 8,000 participants came to taste the pleasures of the sport as well as to the most beautiful specialties of the terroir. Throughout the course, the marathoners, most of whom are disguised for the occasion, are invited to refuel in wine, oysters, foie gras or entrecôtes. A total of 23 Medoc wine tasting stands are waiting for the riders. The path is also marked by orchestras and animated by the inhabitants of the region who take advantage of the day to come and encourage participants.
The Medoc marathon is also a full-fledged sports event. The circuit, which forms a loop at the start and the finish of Pauillac, crosses the villages of Saint-Julien and Saint-Estèphe as well as about fifty wine chateaux. The route includes some passages on rocky soil and is enamelled with several ribs, especially in the vineyards.
