Mont Ventoux Half Marathon Kookabarra 2025

The Mont Ventoux Half Marathon will start on Sunday, July 6, 2025, at 8 a.m.

Runners' bags must be dropped off at the school parking lot at least 1 hour before the race starts and will be transported to the designated area at the finish line. You can retrieve your belongings by showing your race bib.

The maximum race time is set at 3 hours 40 minutes. Beyond this, arriving runners will not be classified. Cut-off times will be specified on race day based on local authorization requirements.

Note: There is a cut-off point at Chalet Reynard (km 15). Participants have 2 hours 30 minutes to reach this aid station. The organization will remove the bibs of any participants who haven't reached this checkpoint in time and declines any responsibility for those wishing to continue. Participants stopped at Chalet Reynard can wait for the first shuttle to take them back to the village of Bédoin. The aid station at the summit and the shuttle buses are scheduled in accordance with these cut-off times. Participants who are late and choose to continue may find the summit aid station packed up and will need to arrange their own transportation back to Bédoin.

There are four aid stations along the route:

• km 6: Drinks

• km 11: Drinks and Snacks

• km 15: Drinks and Snacks

• km 18: Drinks

• Finish: Drinks and Snacks (+ one complimentary beer per participant)

Each participant will receive a race package when picking up their bib and a finisher's medal after crossing the finish line.

There are many accommodation options available, but it's important to book in advance as demand is high during this period. You can find a list of nearby accommodations by clicking here.

FFA license holders must provide their 2024-2025 Athletics License numbers.

Minors are required to show a health status questionnaire. Guardians must certify that each section of the questionnaire results in a negative response. Otherwise, they must provide a medical certificate indicating no contraindication to the practice of sport or the concerned discipline dating back less than six months.
