2026 Marathon Du Medoc

Do you like wine? Do you like running?

Well, why don’t you mix the two in beautiful France and run the 2026 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 40th running of the Marathon du Medoc is "The 80s"!!

Time to start “training”. You know what that means: Time to find your favorite wine opener!
