Marathon des Cotes du Rhone ★ 4.4
A half-marathon and marathon running race staged through the vineyards of Tain-l'Hermitage and Tournon-sur-Rhone each autumn, with wine tastings at aid stations along the route.
Tip: Register in spring as places fill quickly. The scenic route through the terraced Hermitage hill is unforgettable from a pace below 6 minutes per kilometre.
