The Duathlon des Vignobles takes place in mid-March in Orange, within the Vaucluse region of Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur. The course winds through local vineyards, featuring short-format racing rather than long-distance endurance, with S and XS options available. The XS category is open to individual participants.
The primary Division 3 men’s and women’s competitions follow a course of a 4.8 km run, a 23 km bike leg, and a final 2.6 km run. The XS race consists of a 2.4 km run, a 12 km bike, and a 1.15 km run. This event marks the start of the regional Division 3 duathlon season for the Ligue Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur de triathlon, attracting D3 teams and solo athletes seeking a quick, manageable early-season challenge. MTC Orange is the organizer, with Chronospheres managing the timing.
