Corrida de Savigny les Beaune

Chase a personal best through the heart of Burgundy's most prestigious wine villages at the **Corrida de Savigny-lès-Beaune by MV Thermique on Saturday, March 21, 2026**. This electrifying road running event transforms the quiet allées des Tilleuls into a pulsating arena of speed, sound, and celebration, offering ultrafast 5km and 10km courses with just +24m and +56m of elevation respectively—your RP has never been more vulnerable. With 477 participants in 2025 and momentum building, the 2026 edition promises its signature alchemy of elite competition and village fête, complete with DJ, twin speakers, full buvette, and a tombola benefiting the local school. Every 10km entrant receives a bottle of Domaine Jean Jacques Girard, because in Burgundy, even finish lines are paired.
The spectacle intensifies with the 1000m Expérience, where semi-finals and finals showcase high-calibre athletes battling for a share of the €5,000 prize purse distributed across all events. Young runners claim their own spotlight in the 600m and 1000m Expérience Jeunes—free entry, maximum encouragement. A randonnée pédestre opens the day at 09:00 for those who prefer their vineyard views at contemplative pace. Registration remains generously open, with on-site spots available at modest surcharge. Bibs are retrieved race morning, ID required, épingles à nourrice BYO. Chronométrage flows through LA'Team.com, ensuring every split is captured with precision.

What elevates the Corrida beyond mere chrono-chasing is its unabashed joy in reception. Post-race, runners trade effort for effervescence, a local glass in hand, the afternoon light softening on the Côte d'Or slopes. The 13:45 10km start captures the day's prime racing window; the 16:00 1000m finals deliver late-afternoon fireworks. Five-deep prize lists reward depth, not just podiums. This is running as the Bourguignons practise it: serious about speed, serious about terroir, and utterly unserious about pretension.
