The return of one of Burgundy’s emblematic sporting events. The 2025 edition of the Grands Crus marathon took place this Sunday, October 12, taking athletes of all levels and ages across the wine coast. France 3 Bourgogne followed the race (from the inside) and invites you to relive it in images.

The marathon participants set off on the Route des Grands Crus at 8:30 a.m., from the paths of the Dijon park (Côte-d’Or). They had to cover just over 42 kilometers in six hours maximum. 95% of the route was on the road, 5% on white paths.

Three other races took place in the morning: a 5km course, another 10km and a final – half-marathon – of 21.1km.

In 2022, the marathon brought together 2,000 runners. A year later, the figure had increased to 3,500, then 5,000 in 2024. In 2025, no less than 7,000 athletes took part in the race. A gauge set by the organizers in order to avoid, among other things, not being able to ensure the security of the event.

In addition to Dijon, the marathon crossed nine communes on the Route des Grands Crus: Chenôve, Marsannay-la-Côte, Couchey, Fixin, Brochon, Gevrey-Chambertin, Morey-Saint-Denis, Chambolle-Musigny and Vougeot.

And, finally, a photo of our journalist Christophe Tarrisse on the finish line. Congratulations to him!
