The Marathon des Grands Crus takes place in Dijon during October, within France’s Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region, at the center of the Côte-d’Or. Participants can choose from four distances: a full marathon (42.195 km), a half marathon (21.1 km), a 10 km race, and a 5 km option suitable for beginners or families.
The event encourages participants to explore Dijon while running, with the city’s Burgundian architecture contributing to its appeal. Saint Bénigne Cathedral is among the noted landmarks. The shorter race options ensure the event is accessible beyond marathon specialists, welcoming first-time runners and those seeking a manageable city run.
