Ride for men’s health: Ventoux challenge
The Association Française d’Urologie (AFU) continues its commitment with the fifth edition of the Mont Ventoux ascent, aiming to raise awareness of men’s health through adapted physical activity.

| Location | Bédoin, France |
Building on the success of the first four editions, you are invited you to join the ride at the Centre des Florans in Bédoin. The climb takes place on Saturday 19 September 2026 and is open to all abilities, from experienced cyclists to occasional riders, including those using electric-assisted bikes. The route up Mont Ventoux offers a challenging yet accessible setting, encouraging participation through physical activity and shared experience. A public session on sport and health will be held the day before, on Friday 18 September at 16:00 in Bédoin, with guest speaker Bernard Hinault.
Participation supports research in urology, with all donations directed towards advancing the understanding and treatment of male health conditions. The event is organised by the French Urological Association (AFU) and the AFU’s Urology Innovation Fund, bringing together clinicians, patients and the wider community.
Prof. A. Stenzl (DE), the Secretary General of the EAU, will be participating again this year.
