After the race, all participants and visitors continued at the Great Terrace with wine tastings and local gastronomic specialties, while the Subotica band Selected provided excellent entertainment. Many participants took part in engaging wine workshops, sailed on the Wine Boat, went on wine picnics, and a fun barrel-rolling competition was also organized, accompanied by lots of cheering and laughter. <\/p>\n

Participants of this year\u2019s Wine Marathon joined a fundraising campaign for the construction of a parent house in Belgrade for children with cancer by downloading the \u2018Take a Step\u2019 app, which recorded the kilometers completed during the marathon. These kilometers are monetized by Serbian companies and donated to the National Association of Parents of Children with Cancer.<\/p>\n

The Wine Marathon is a unique event that combines sport, wine, gastronomy, and music in a fun way, providing enjoyment for all the senses, as best evidenced by the photographs, which also serve as the best invitation for next year.<\/p>\n
