This is *quite* French 🇨🇵
26.2 miles of nothing but running, sweating and trying to keep breathing.That’s the kind of marathon we can get on board with.in France offers runners the chance to sample the local delicacies as they pass through the different regions on foot.
Rather than just providing water along the route, runners can taste wine, local cheeses, grapes, ice creams and even oysters.The race takes you on a picturesque route through vineyards and estates, even passing a couple of castles – and participants are given six hours to complete the course, so there’s plenty of time to drink in the scenery… and the vino.
This isn’t exactly a marathon for speed-fiends – if you’re really bothered about clocking up the best time you should probably stick to a regular marathon. Particularly because this one also has to be completed in fancy dress.Running 26.2 miles with a giant, inflatable bottle of wine strapped to your back probably isn’t going to result in a PB.
