Trail des Coteaux - TDC
The organiser presents it as the introductory course of the weekend, and it is the one race that does not go to the summit. It starts up the first kilometres of the road to the top of Mont Ventoux, passes the Groseau and the Saint-Sidoine chapel, and reaches a viewpoint above the Rochers de Rams.
The descent passes the Piaud chapel and its historic Way of the Cross, then the Col de la Chaîne, with a view across to the Dentelles de Montmirail, before the finish in Malaucène. It carries 1 Running Stone. Aid stations, cutoffs and start waves are not published on the race page.
It starts two hours after the Grande Epopée Ventoux on the same morning, so a household can have one runner on each course. Each can share their own Livebib link: position on the course line, distance covered and a finish estimate that updates as the race goes, in a browser with no account or app. If the phone loses signal on the slopes, the position is carried forward along the course and marked as estimated instead of freezing. Each runner decides who gets their link.
