Experience the charm and beauty of Burgundy at the Marathon des Vins de la Côte Châlonnaise in Givry. Located just outside Chalon-sur-Saône in the heart of Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, this event offers runners a unique blend of scenic vineyards, charming villages, and rich cultural experiences. Scheduled for March 19, 2027, participants can choose from four running distances: an 8 km race through picturesque landscapes, a more challenging 12 km route that winds its way through the rolling hills and lush vineyards, a half marathon to test endurance in this breathtaking terrain, or the full marathon for those seeking a longer challenge. Team runners are also welcome; teams of three can compete together with staggered starts but finish as one. The following day, hikers have their own set of four non-timed routes ranging from 5 km to 20 km, each offering its own unique path through the countryside and vineyards that define this region. Starting in Givry, runners will pass through quaint villages like Mellecey, Rully, Barizey, and Saint-Jean-de-Vaux, where they can admire rows of grapevines stretching as far as the eye can see. The route is dotted with refreshment stations that offer local delicacies paired with world-renowned Burgundy wines. As you run through this bucolic landscape, expect to be greeted by fellow runners and locals dressed in festive costumes, adding a lively atmosphere to your journey. The 14th to the 16th kilometre marks an exciting point where paths cross, creating opportunities for mutual encouragement among competitors. Upon finishing the race or completing one of the hiking routes, you can indulge in traditional Burgundian dishes such as escargots and parsley ham, paired with a glass—or even a bottle—to take home—of local wine. This celebration continues beyond the event itself, inviting visitors to explore nearby attractions like Chalon-sur-Saône, Beaune, the Abbey of Cluny, and the château of Brancion. Join us for an unforgettable experience that combines athletic challenge with cultural immersion in one of France's most picturesque regions.
