Duathlon des Vignobles - Orange 2027

The Duathlon des Vignobles is a run-bike-run event held in Orange, Vaucluse, Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur, typically in March. The race utilizes the Costa stadium grounds and features individual S and XS formats. The D3 men’s and women’s events follow a 4.8 km run, 23 km bike, and 2.6 km run course. The XS race is shorter: 2.4 km running, 12 km cycling, and a 1.15 km final run. A.C. Orange organizes this event to start the D3 duathlon season, attracting both club teams and individuals competing in the XS format. The run course is more cross-country style than a flat road race, and the bike leg incorporates drafting zones, emphasizing pack position and race tactics. Previous outcomes indicate both team competition and close individual contests: D3 teams have used Orange as an early-season benchmark, and XS participants have vied for overall positions while also securing age or category wins.
