Marathon des Vins du Jura 2026

The Marathon des Vins du Jura is a road race held in Dole, in France's Jura department. Its wine theme is evident from the name. Typically run in mid-October, it offers participants multiple distances: a 42.195 km marathon, a half marathon, 10 km, 6 km, relay events, and races for children and juniors. The shorter La Doloise races support a charity. The event takes place in Dole, a historic city and former capital of Franche-Comte, and is also known as Terre de Pasteur. The race emphasizes the Jura region's identity, incorporating wine tasting, local food, vineyards, town streets, and natural landscapes into the program. Recent marathon results indicate a smaller field for the full marathon, creating a more intimate atmosphere compared to large city marathons. The broader weekend events cater to families, relay teams, casual runners, and club members.
