Marathon International du Beaujolais is a distinctive running event held in the picturesque Beaujolais wine region near Lyon, France. Famous for its festive atmosphere, colourful costumes, live music and local wine tastings, the marathon takes runners from Fleurie to Villefranche-sur-Saône through vineyards, historic châteaux and charming French villages. More than just a race, the event combines running with regional culture, food and celebration. The course crosses over twelve villages and passes notable estates such as Château de Corcelles, Château de Pizay and Château des Ravatys. Its rolling profile follows mainly small country roads with occasional vineyard paths. A generous time limit makes the experience attractive to runners who value atmosphere and scenery as much as finishing times.
