What Makes It Great

The Grande Epopée Ventoux covers 87 km with 4,200 m of climbing through the northern flanks of Mont Ventoux and the Dentelles de Montmirail. Starting in Malaucène at dawn, runners pass through Entrechaux, the iconic forest road to Mont Serein, and loop back through the Plan de Laval before a final push to the Malaucène finish. A demanding mid-distance UTMB World Series event suited to experienced ultrarunners.
