VentouxMan 2024

Welcome to the summit of the Giant of Provence! The New Year often comes with new challenges 💪, and for that, the VentouxMan is making its grand return! 🤩 This iconic and unique triathlon in France invites you to join in September, at Monteux, in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region 🌞. It's at the foot of the legendary Mont Ventoux 🏔️, in the Vaucluse, where you'll start (or restart, for those in the know 😉) your adventure! With its 2 km of swimming 🏊‍♂️, 100 km of cycling 🚴, and 20 km of running 🏃, a long-distance challenge awaits you in the heart 💚 of Provence 🪻. You can choose to complete the event solo or in a relay as a duo or trio 🤝. This year, the event is back with a brand new organization 😁 since all the transition zones ⏩ will be centralized in the same location! 📍 Yes, no more shuttle system to connect the events, everything is now happening at the lake of Monteux 🏞️. Everything has been simplified, and you'll be able to hop on your mighty Nimbus Bike 2000 🧹 right after coming out of the water 🌊 to take on the Mont Ventoux 🚵.

A triathlon of legends awaits you! 😎 The VentouxMan comprises three stages of self-transcendence, but what exactly can you expect from this edition? 🤔 You'll start with 2 km of swimming in the lake of Monteux, completing two loops ➿ with an Australian exit halfway through. It will be a moment of great enthusiasm for the audience, who can follow the athletes live and give them a boost of energy! 🥳 After getting out of the lake, you'll immediately grab your bike and head towards the most coveted mountain by cyclists, none other than the Giant of Provence 🤯. You'll tackle the ascent from its steepest side, but we know nothing can stop you! The major part of the elevation gain of the event is concentrated on this segment so hang on tight, it won't be long (just about 100 km 😅). Natural landscapes will accompany you to the summit, offering a panoramic view over the entire valley 😯. To finish, you'll just have to run the planned 20 km to… finish off your legs 😂. Two loops ➿ of 10 km each are planned between the lake shores and the historic city center of Monteux. It's a chance to enjoy a visit to a small Provençal village, just a stone's throw from Carpentras. If you're running the triathlon in relay with a three-participant team, the distribution will be simple: one swimmer, one cyclist, and one runner. For two-person teams, the distribution is free. Children will also be celebrated at this 2024 edition 🧒. Several triathlon events will be offered according to their age 🤓. An Aquathlon and a short VentouxMan Experience format, with 1 km of swimming and 5 km of running, will even be organized for those over 14 years old! 😍 This event, becoming increasingly popular among triathletes, is gradually becoming a leading sports and family event 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦.

But that's not all! A buffet 🥪 will await you at the finish line 🏁 to help you refuel 💪. You can also enjoy a refreshing beer 🍻 (drink responsibly) and osteopaths will be on hand just for you! 😉 Around the Ventoux ⛰️, the quaint villages that breathe Provence are plentiful 🌬️. It will be the perfect opportunity to take your time, after your triathlon, to wander through one of the Vaucluse villages 🏘️. Pernes-les-Fontaines with its vineyards 🍇, Carpentras with its monuments 🏰, Venasque with its history 🏛️, Bédoin as the legendary village of the Tour de France 🚴 or Avignon with its Papal Palace, there's plenty to do! 😝

So, will we see you at the summit of the Mont Ventoux? 🤗
