Marathon Relais La Roche Vineuse is a road relay marathon in La Roche-Vineuse, France, starting and finishing at the Salle des Fêtes. Teams cover the marathon distance as seven 6 km laps: six runners each run one lap, then the whole team runs the final lap together.
The team finish is not just ceremonial; everyone must cross the line together to be classified, and officials can stop incomplete teams before the finish. The official time comes from the last teammate over the line, so the race rewards planning, steady pacing, and keeping the group intact. The format suits beginners and experienced runners because each solo leg is short, but the shared final lap gives the event a proper team-race feel in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté countryside.
