The McLaren Vale Marathon runs through the vineyards of one of South Australia's best-known wine regions, half an hour south of Adelaide. On fully sealed roads through the vines, it offers a marathon, half marathon, 10km, 5km and a kids' dash, with the cellar doors and restaurants of McLaren Vale on the doorstep for a race-and-wine weekend. A scenic, manageable event that pairs running with one of the state's great food-and-wine areas.
