DAY TWO | FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 4TH
If you are arriving today - welcome! Please make your own way to the hotel for check-in.
For those that are already in town, breakfast is included this morning. After breakfast, shake out more of that jetlag with a private 3-hour bike tour with local guide around the city of Bordeaux! Enjoy this time to see all that the city has to offer, learn more about the rich history from a local, and maybe stumble upon a few places you would like to return to! Be sure to visit FIT to collect your race bib for tomorrow's big event!
This evening dinner is on your own unless you opt to book a ticket to the famous or rather infamous Mille-Pates dinner (+$127, pre-race runner pasta dinner, entertainment, & event like no other) to get race ready and enjoy fireworks to officially kick off race weekend! If there is any year to join the pre-race dinner - this is the year as we celebrate 40 years of the marathon du Medoc. The Mille Pate dinner includes: roundtrip transfers from the hotel to dinner, a 3-course pasta focused meal (dietary restrictions are challenging), fireworks, water, entertainment, and wine! Event has limited seating and will sell out. If you are not booking the pasta event - be sure to find a spot for your pre-race meal in Bordeaux City!
