Marathon des Châteaux du Médoc : Programme 2027
The Marathon des Châteaux du Médoc is organised in early September 2027 around Pauillac with a multi-day programme of racing, festive activities and tastings. In the days before the race the Village Marathon is installed at the COSEC de Pauillac where bib collection takes place; official bus transfers between Bordeaux and Pauillac are offered by reservation. A paid dinner event called Mille-Pâtes is held at Château Fourcas Dupré with access limited to 1450 people and controlled by an access bracelet distributed at bib pickup. A separate pasta evening takes place in Saint Estèphe.
On the main event day participants in costume follow the year’s theme "Exploration Médoc, à la conquête du Monde". The event includes a publicity caravan and a marathon course equipped with 22 points of refreshment, about twenty oeno-sport tests (moderate wine tasting) and 55 animated tasting points featuring oysters, entrecôte, cheese, grapes, ice cream and similar items. Animations are concentrated on the quays and in the village by the Maison du Vin. Prizegiving is planned on the quays of Pauillac subject to weather conditions. Evening programming includes concerts, a fireworks display and late-night dancing.
A recovery walk is organised in the commune of Listrac Médoc for runners and companions on the day after the marathon; participation is paid and limited to 3000 people. A reserved meal under a marquee at Château Fourcas Dupré and a village gourmand in Listrac complete the weekend offerings. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
