They dressed in cowboy outfits and pushed one of the team over the course in a shopping trolley (he was injured but they did not let him miss out the fun). I think the running is secondary in this one.

minardi Sep 2018 1:55pm, 18 Sep 2018 4,206 posts	0 minardi I've just done the marathon du medoc - running was secondary in that too! The team from BLM were at the expo so I said hello but had already planned on entering! In answer to GG - if the servings are similar to the wine at Medoc, then they'll be quite small but you can top up as often as you feel able to!

This marathon will be the one and only time I run in "fancy dress" and mostly because it looks like most people doing it will be dressed up. I prefer not to stand out! 3rd marathon of the year and it will definitely be the slowest (which considering the previous two are currently my two slowest will be quite a feat!).
