A marathon in the heart of Burgundy vineyards
The Marathon des Grands Crus is a sporting event organized every autumn starting from Dijon, crossing the famous Route des Grands Crus of Burgundy. Created in 2019 by Thomas Dauvergne, it has become in a few editions one of the most popular marathons in France, thanks to an exceptional course through the climats of the Burgundy vineyard, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Six events for all levels
The event offers six events suitable for all levels: a marathon (42.195 km), a half-marathon (21.1 km), a 10 km, a 5 km, a 23 km rollerblading race, and a running/rollerblading relay. All events follow the Route des Grands Crus, offering participants a unique panorama of the world's most prestigious vineyards.
An exceptional course
The course crosses the most famous wine-producing towns of the Côte de Nuits: Chenôve, Marsannay-la-Côte, Couchey, Fixin, Brochon, Gevrey-Chambertin, Morey-Saint-Denis, Chambolle-Musigny, and Vougeot. Runners thus cross the most prestigious Burgundy appellations, in an exceptional autumn landscape.
Sport, heritage, and gastronomy
Beyond the sporting challenge, the Marathon des Grands Crus highlights wine heritage and Burgundian gastronomy. A festive finish village offers wine tastings, local products, and musical entertainment, making the event a true festival combining athletic performance and the Burgundian art of living.
