Ready to take on the unpredictable <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mont_Ventoux" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Mont Ventoux</a>? Head to <a href="kavval://cities/67c35495-3bc0-4929-892d-948036322f18" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Malaucène</a>, in the heart of&nbsp;<a href="kavval://level2AdminAreas/89ffb081-1088-4bfa-9158-899f325320f3" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Vaucluse</a>, for an adventure that will leave its mark on your calves and your mind! ✨ The Grand Raid Ventoux by UTMB® welcomes you to the "<a href="https://www.slow-provence.com/en/prepare-your-holiday-in-Provence-Mont-Ventoux-area/mont-ventoux-holiday-sport-riding-hiking-nature-outdoor-activities/le-mont-ventoux" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Giant of Provence</a>", rising to 1,912 m. Ah, it’s not just a little bump: it’s a wild territory where the weather can flip from blazing sunshine to an <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mistral_(wind)" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">icy mistral</a> in the blink of an eye 🌬️. Here, you run on the home turf of athletes like <a href="https://utmb.world/runner/117050.caroline.chaverot" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Caroline Chaverot</a>, an <a href="kavval://pages/fe61e247-8c8f-4a66-b688-98099f2e8d75" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ultra-trail</a> legend, who made her big comeback on these steep trails ⛰️. Whether you’re here to win or to tick off the&nbsp;French&nbsp;<a href="kavval://pages/19c6236d-b5b7-431a-87ba-e50b74dcd383" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">trail</a> calendar, it’s one of the rawest gems on the list 💎. What’s more, by taking part, everyone does a <a href="kavval://tags/8f4b5272-ebbb-40e2-8952-7cd3ebf462a2" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">good deed</a>: since 2016, €2 per bib has been donated to the <a href="https://www.pompiers.fr/oeuvre-des-pupilles/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Œuvre des Pupilles Orphelins des Sapeurs Pompiers</a> of the department 🚒. In the end, a simple gesture can add a little extra soul to every stride, all the way to the summit 💛.For this&nbsp;race, in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaucluse" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Vaucluse</a>, you’re spoiled for choice with four flagship distances setting off in late <a href="kavval://pages/071be5e9-04a8-4d1b-b619-77ef92e45b55" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">April</a>, an ideal time when <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Provence" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Provence</a> starts to bloom 🌸. The "Ultra Giant of Provence" (UGP) is the queen event: a 125 km course with 5,700 m of positive elevation gain. Starting from <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaucène" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Malaucène</a>, the route reaches the <a href="https://www.visorando.com/en/walk-les-cretes-de-saint-amand/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Saint-Amand ridges</a>, after tackling the summit’s legendary scree slopes 🧗. If you prefer a mid-distance format, the "Great Ventoux Epic" (GEV) offers 87 km for 4,200 mD+, a journey between wild gorges and hilltop villages 🏘️. Fans of the <a href="kavval://pages/390ac20f-6103-4b2e-930e-b570ed852fb1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">marathon</a> format will feast on the "Mistral Marathon Trail" (MMT) with 51 km and 2,500 mD+. While the more sensible ones (so to speak 🤣) can discover the essence of trail running in <a href="kavval://tags/9aac2254-eb0d-4f02-a70e-ef56d14afd9d" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">nature</a>&nbsp;on the "Trail des Coteaux" (TDC) and its 26 km for 1,100 mD+ 🌲.Beyond the physical challenge, this event is a strategic step for international trail runners’ passports 🤓. This race is part of the <a href="kavval://series/75e5b883-d6b6-4508-b500-ea23de2d6c87" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">UTMB® World Series</a> circuit, so by crossing the finish line, runners earn <a href="kavval://pages/12e0c222-3cac-4fd6-961e-3002d0a0ceec" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Running Stones</a>, those precious tokens essential for entering the lottery for the <a href="https://montblanc.utmb.world" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">finals in Chamonix</a> 🎟️. A great opportunity to polish your <a href="kavval://pages/47e20bbc-b407-4fe2-9c8a-52f8ff1aa4c8" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">UTMB Index</a> and see where you stand against the world’s best 📊. And with this <a href="kavval://series/75e5b883-d6b6-4508-b500-ea23de2d6c87" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">UTMB</a> label, it also allows you to validate <a href="kavval://pages/34df5d21-0c39-4130-90e7-667446275203" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ITRA points</a>, essential to gauge your technical performance out on the trails 📉. This is the time to boost the stats while taking a visual slap in the face from the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dentelles_de_Montmirail" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Dentelles de Montmirail</a> 🏔️.In this <a href="https://www.parcs-naturels-regionaux.fr/en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Regional Natural Park</a>, the immersion is total, and spotting <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marmot" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">marmots</a> around a bend in the trail is not uncommon 🐾. Plus, there’s a unique heritage: from the <a href="https://www.provenceguide.co.uk/natural-heritage/mont-ventoux/la-source-du-groseau/provence-4606185-1.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Groseau spring</a> to the <a href="https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g1237086-d19100947-Reviews-Chapelle_Saint_Sidoine-Beaumont_du_Ventoux_Vaucluse_Provence_Alpes_Cote_d_Azur.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Saint-Sidoine chapel</a> 🏛️. A little anecdote about this <a href="https://www.ventouxprovence.fr/en/home.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ventoux</a>, which is, among other things, a cinema and <a href="kavval://pages/d843e8c3-659d-4857-aa07-838ea52bb1da" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">cycling</a> star: it’s also nicknamed the "<a href="https://www.ventouxprovence.fr/en/home.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Bald Mountain</a>", because of its limestone summit devoid of vegetation, which in fact looks like a lunar landscape 🌕. That nickname wouldn’t please everyone... 🙊 Joking aside, for this event, the passionate firefighter organizers also put the focus on <a href="kavval://tags/9e6e8dd8-78e7-4b2f-9413-5b99233f39ac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">eco-responsibility</a>: here, you bring your own cutlery, you limit waste, and you protect this fragile biodiversity ♻️. And since it’s a bit of a model student, this race also celebrates women with concrete initiatives such as the <a href="https://www.instagram.com/gofast.wrc/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">GOFAST</a> association, which organizes round tables and shared outings to boost gender diversity on the start lines 🚺.After all that, it’s hard to find flaws with this race, especially since the area is STILL packed with treasures. Like the <a href="https://palais-des-papes.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Palace of the Popes</a> in <a href="kavval://cities/dc8c34c1-bee9-4743-b701-e65abc57eff8" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Avignon</a> or the <a href="SENTIER DES OCRES englih" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ochres of Roussillon</a>, which are less than an hour’s drive away 🏰. We’re starting to know this saying, but we’ll never repeat it enough: after the effort comes the comfort. Here, it’s waiting for you with local gastronomy: imagine yourself savoring <a href="https://www.ventouxprovence.fr/en/reportages/parlons-de-nos-autres-produits-terroir/the-carpentras-strawberries.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Carpentras strawberries</a> or a <a href="https://uk.islesurlasorguetourisme.com/page/la-truffe-noire-d-hiver----en+7366.html#:~:text=Vaucluse%20is%20the%20first%20department,weather%20conditions%20must%20be%20met." rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">truffle dish</a> after burning thousands of calories on the ridgelines 🍓. It looks like this very sporty trail can quickly turn into an unforgettable stay under the sunshine of <a href="kavval://level1AdminAreas/d4cb7b23-d4f5-4194-803e-08fdd9903ebc" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur</a> ☀️.Taking on the Provençal Giant and living a human and sporting experience? This is the event where it happens! 🤓
