Conquering a 26-mile marathon is a grueling test of stamina that few people are capable of tackling. But what about a full-fledged marathon that includes runners in costume, 22 wine-tasting stations and an oyster bar along the route? If you didn't know such a thing existed...it does. It's the Médoc Marathon, a raucous, wine-soaked run that takes place every fall in the heart of France's legendary Bordeaux region . And host Bob Blumer's challenge is to remember that even though this unique event may seem like a party -- at least that's what the other 8000 runners seem to think -- it is still a race, and a long one at that! But Bob discovers the payoff is worth the work, as he enjoys a whirlwind tour through some of the world's finest wineries, and gets the chance to win his weight in first-growth Bordeaux.
