About this race
The Corrida de Savigny les Beaune, organized by MV Thermique, is a road running event held in Savigny-lès-Beaune, a wine village in Côte-d'Or, Bourgogne-Franche-Comté. This third edition takes place in March, offering participants two straightforward options: 5 km or 10 km. The courses are noted for being very flat and fast, making the race suitable for those aiming for a personal best as well as local residents seeking a brief, energetic run near Beaune.
Over 600 runners participate in the event, with MV Thermique managing the race and providing essential race-day facilities like changing rooms and refreshment stations. The schedule also includes 1000m Experience semi-finals and finals featuring high-level athletes, offering spectators a more intense competition than a typical local road race. A DJ, two announcers, entertainment, a drinks stand, and a glass of local wine from Domaine Jean-Jacques Girard contribute to the village atmosphere. A shared prize fund of 5000 euros further motivates the competitive runners.
