Nearly 500 women also take part. During the event, around 140 people work together to ensure the smooth running of the cyclosportive. This sporting event takes place in June (as a rule).

The "Mon Ventoux- Ventourist/La Cannibale" project is part of a sports campaign organised by the Sporta Foundation. Its main goal is to encourage people to trade in their sedentary life for a healthier and more active lifestyle. All participants prepare themselves systematically and expertly to become a 'Ventourist' or 'Cannibal' by pedalling.
Mon Ventoux - Ventourist' for the beginner cyclist / 'Mon Ventoux - La Cannibale' for the more experienced cyclist.
In addition to La Cannibale there is also a shortened route: La Cannibalette, a 131 km tour with 3,560 metres of difference in altitude in which the climbs of the Col de Perty and the Col de Saint-Jean are omitted. A timing system is planned in order to create a reference point with the previous or future climbs.
Only in the event of unforeseen weather conditions can the start times be changed.
