Les Jas du Ventoux is a 21 km mountain half marathon starting and finishing at the Domaine Bélézy visitor parking on the edge of Bédoin. It takes place on a Sunday in October, organized by Déniv84, a local association, with support from the commune of Bédoin. The race has had only a few editions, and poles are not permitted.
The course includes approximately 1,170 metres of climbing and a similar amount of descent, marking it as a true mountain run. Its theme centers on the jas, the old shepherd huts associated with the Ventoux region, guiding runners through a more tranquil aspect of Bédoin’s landscape. Aid stations provide water, coke, fresh fruit, dried fruit, and sugar, with designated clean zones at each stop as part of the race’s “Clean Mountain” initiative.
