Grande Epopée Ventoux - GEV

Grande Epopée Ventoux - GEV

The opening is the same as the long race: Le Groseau, the Saint-Sidoine chapel, Pic du Comte and the Crête de la Plate, with views over the Dentelles de Montmirail, the Baronnies and the Toulourenc valley. The course then follows the Toulourenc gorges from Entrechaux to the hamlet of Veaux, and from there makes the main climb of the day, to the summit of Mont Ventoux.

The descent crosses the mountain’s rock fields and passes the Piaud chapel before the Col de la Chaîne and the return to Malaucène. The organiser lists 3 Running Stones and direct entry to the finals category. Aid stations, cutoffs and start waves are not published on the race page.

A dawn start and a limit near twenty hours put many finishes after dark on Saturday. A runner who shares a Livebib link lets family see the position on the course line, distance covered and a finish estimate that updates as the race goes, so the wait in Malaucène can start at the right time. Where the gorges or the mountain cut the signal, the position is carried forward along the course and marked as estimated instead of freezing. It opens in a browser with no account or app, and the runner decides who gets it.
