![]() The course winds through the hilly countryside of Bordeaux with tastings of food like steak, oysters, and cheese and wine from the likes of Chateau Lafite Rothschild at every mile marker. Each year, the race has a theme (2018’s was “Super Heroes” and 2017’s “Vinyl Records”), which has taken the event from an insider’s secret to an international affair. In its 34th year, the Maraton du Medoc is one of the most impressive wine runs in the world. But running the course is so much fun you’ll hardly be thinking about the distance. OK, so this race isn’t actually a marathon-it’s an 18K. Be sure to note that this is an untimed race and registration is on a lottery system because of its popularity. Plus, with a party at the finish, you can keep sipping more of the region’s wines, listen to live music, and nosh from food trucks. There are a dozen refreshment stations throughout the course, slinging wine slushies, sangria, and other boozy concoctions. British Columbia’s Oliver Osoyoos wine region is known for its robust reds, flavorful whites, and its totally beautiful scenery, making the Half Corked Marathon an absolute stunner.
