Run the 2024 Marathon du MEDOC with Dream Travel!

Do you like wine? Do you like running? Well, why don’t you mix the two in beautiful France and run the Marathon du Medoc? Run through the vineyards of Bordeaux while stopping 23 times for wine (or fewer if you’re a novice), cheese, foie gras, oysters and more while dressed up? Yes, there will be water at the “aid” stations as well for all the rookies out there. And yes, that’s right, not only do you have to run and drink wine, but you must do so while dressed up. Yes, “must”, it’s compulsory. You’re not running this race for speed; you’re running this race to see what you’re really made of!

The theme of the 38th running of the Marathon du Medoc is Make Your Games!

Time to start “training”. You know what that means:

Time to find your favorite wine opener!

• Prices are in Euros, but we will collect CAD or USD from you and convert it.
• The price for One Runner + One Spectator is the total for both people.
• The price for Two Runners Sharing is per person.
• Packages include daily breakfast, race entry and transfers to the race on Saturday.

As the Marathon du Medoc does not refund or defer guaranteed entries, our policy is as follows: If we can resell your package, the following fees will apply:

• 15% of your payment amounts if cancelling 120 days or more prior to registration closing.
• 25% of your payment amounts if cancelling between 7 and 119 days prior to registration closing.
• 50% of your payment amounts if cancelling 6 days or less prior to registration closing.
• 100% of your deposit and payment amounts if cancelling after registration closes or at any time if we’re unable to resell your package.

The difference between what you paid, and the fee listed above will be held as a credit for you for 24 months from the time you made your last payment for this particular package. Credits may only be used for events listed on our website.

Are these prices in CAD or USD?
All prices for this event are listed in Euros but we’ll collect in CAD or USD (your preference) to save you bank fees.

Can I stay at another property?
We have a contract with the listed property, so you must use the hotel listed above during the package nights. Before or after, you may stay elsewhere.

Can I book additional nights at the same hotel?
Yes, assuming the hotel isn’t sold out, we can add additional nights to your stay. Prices are listed above in the Pricing section.

What kind of weather can I expect on race day?
Typical weather in Bordeaux in September has an average low of 13 degrees Celsius and an average high of 24.

Can you help me find a same-sex roommate?
We can definitely try and find you a same-sex roommate, but we can’t guarantee it. Let us know as early as possible for the best chances. Please note that if you request a roommate, you can’t bring one with you.

Do you have triple or quadruple rates?
European hotels are smaller than North American hotels, therefore it’ll be two adults to a room.
