Just off the town of Bordeaux, the French and many others from around the world get together to run a marathon disguised as a party! A pretty whacky party at that. A costume is a must and since you in one of France’s most famous wine regions, we guess so is drinking! Now into its 35th year, this unique race is one of the most colorful and unusual races around the world. Sign up to claim our limited spots including race entry and stay at a charming hotel that was once a wine estate. Just don’t forget your superhero costume – cos you’ll need it to run this one!

• Can I book extra nights before or after the race?

  Yes, please get in touch with us and we will be happy to book the extra nights for you. We have various extension packages available on our website and we can also work with you to create a full extension package if you like.

• I am a single traveller, is it possible for me to get a twin share room?

  We have several single travellers interested in sharing a room with another traveller and, wherever possible, we try to pair up people who have requested rooms on twin share. However, please keep in mind that this is not a guarantee and in some cases you might be required to take a single supplement.

• Will I have to collect my own bib

  No, the bibs will be sent to your hotel.

• Is the race entry guaranteed if I book a package through Active Holiday Company?

  Yes, all of our Marathon Major packages come with guaranteed race entry.
