Started in 1984, the Marathon du Medoc is a classic long-distance race, not unlike the New York City Marathon, but with some wine thrown in — all runners are given a bottle of Medoc red wine to take home. The race, which takes place in September, follows a route through the Bordeaux region of France, marathon weekend events include visiting the chateaux, lots of wine tastings at area vineyards, pasta parties, and a grand ball with fireworks.
