THE TRIPLE VENTOUX
With Mont Ventoux set to return to the Tour de France in 2016, Fit With Purpose is pleased to announce our latest corporate challenge for 2016, The Triple Ventoux. Could this be our toughest one yet?
The 137km and 4,400m monster is an awe-inspiring addition to the Cols to Cannes Challenge, as an optional extra for the toughest riders on Stage 1.
THE RULES

STATS AND FIGURES
- The last time the mountain featured on the Tour was in 2013, with Chris Froome becoming the first Briton to ever win on the climb.

- Lance Armstrong never won on the mountain, even saying it was his least favourite climb.
- Less than 500 people from the UK have completed The Triple Ventoux, and become members of the exclusive Club des Cinglés du Mont-Ventoux.
