Marathon des Châteaux du Médoc

Every September, runners gather for the Médoc marathon which winds its way through over 50 vineyards of this special region. 

There is a fancy dress theme and the 'refreshment' stations offer red and white wine as well as the usual clear stuff. The following morning there is a 10km recovery walk, well in fact it's a wine tasting tour which ends with a large celebratory lunch. Superb!
