About this race
The Fête les Vins Kms de Saint-Émilion is a road race held in Saint-Émilion, Gironde, Nouvelle-Aquitaine. Participants run through a renowned French vineyard region. The race takes place near the end of March and features three distances: 12 km, 22 km, and a 42.195 km marathon. This event appeals to those seeking a wine-country race experience without the full marathon commitment, as well as runners aiming for a longer challenge.
The course winds through vineyards and countryside surrounding Saint-Émilion, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The race embraces its local setting, encouraging participants to visit wine cellars and estates post-run. This makes the weekend suitable for couples and families, not just club runners. The 12 km race is the most popular, with 1,771 finishers in a recent edition, almost equally divided between men and women, and an average finish time of 1:19:15.
