Marathon du Médoc
Lo esencial
El Marathon du Médoc no es solo una carrera – es un carnaval vinícola en movimiento. El recorrido de 42.2 km serpentea entre más de 50 viñedos y châteaux famosos de la región de Médoc, al norte de Burdeos. Los corredores recorren caminos pintorescos rodeados de viñedos interminables, muchas veces sobre tierras de haciendas, pasando por nombres como Château Lafite-Rothschild y Mouton Rothschild. El terreno es mayormente llano y pavimentado, con algunas secciones sobre caminos de grava. Esta es una maratón para saborear: en lugar del agua y geles habituales, los puestos de avituallamiento ofrecen vinos locales, quesos, ostras y otras delicias. No te sorprendas si un voluntario pregunta "¿Rouge ou blanc?" (¿tinto o blanco?) cuando te acerques a una estación. De hecho, muchos corredores se detienen en casi todos los châteaux para probar las ofrendas. El recorrido es más o menos un circuito que comienza y termina en Pauillac, con vistas del estuario de Gironda e interminables viñedos alrededor.

The race is famous for runners in elaborate costumes and more than 20 wine-tasting stations and food stops (including oysters, cheese and steak) along the vineyard-lined course past dozens of historic châteaux.
Unlike most marathons, many aid stations offer small wine samples in addition to water and sports drinks, and there are live bands and entertainment every few kilometers creating a festival atmosphere.
Race weekend includes an Expo and a pre-race pasta dinner on Saturday, and all finishers receive a commemorative medal and a technical finisher shirt.
Logistics tip: parking in Pauillac is limited on race day so use the event shuttles or public transport; aid stations are roughly every 2–3 km and the course is generally flat to gently rolling through the Médoc wine region.
2026 marks the 40th edition of the Marathon du Médoc.
