The Marathon du Médoc is a 42.2km vineyard loop in Pauillac, Bordeaux, with 23 wine, oyster & steak stops, mandatory costume, and a 6h30 cutoff. It is a festive, food-and-wine 'fun run' with a field of around 7,800 runners.

Why attend here

Running the Médoc in early September means you're here for the harvest buzz, when the vineyards are at their most golden and the air smells of ripe grapes. You'll loop through château courtyards and along the Gironde, then celebrate with the region's famously good wine and a plate of entrecôte or fresh oysters — a proper Bordeaux feast to finish a 42k.
