Marathon du Medoc

Why book with Marathon Tours & Travel

On Saturday 2nd September 2023 it’s Medoc Marathon time again. Don’t worry about a PB, this marathon is all about enjoying yourself and taking the opportunity to sample the local wines at each drinks station. Fancy dress is a must and in 2023 the theme is ‘Gastronomy’.

All-inclusive tours

We have a private coach at our disposal all weekend and we are staying at a 4 star hotel in Bordeaux. Welcome dinner and drinks are included on arrival and on Friday evening we have a pasta party at a local chateau. On our longer tour, we will enjoy a post-marathon walk through local vineyards, followed by a celebratory party. We finish the tour with a visit to Saint Emilion and a gala dinner.

Guaranteed Entry

The race entry is included as part of your booking, with a discount for non-runners. Return coach transport to the marathon on Saturday is included for both runners and spectators.
