INTERNATIONAL BEAUJOLAIS MARATHON 2025
The Beaujolais Marathon has become a must-attend international event. Every year, participants from 75 different nationalities come to the Beaujolais region to enjoy a unique experience combining sport, culture, and conviviality.
It’s the perfect opportunity to discover the local hospitality and the richness of the region’s gastronomic heritage. A true international gathering for running and wine enthusiasts!
From the very beginning, solidarity has been at the heart of the Beaujolais Runners’ identity, the club that organizes the Beaujolais International Marathon. Their commitment for 2025: to donate €150,000 through the “Beaujolais Marathon Foundation” solely to support the fight against cancer!
The Beaujolais International Marathon supports the association Courir Pour Elles, which contributes to the fight against female cancers through prevention efforts and support for women undergoing treatment.
The framework, completed by the MIB team, confirmed that continuous improvement on environmental issues is also a core focus for the event organizers.
