The title of this edition was in all respects an Incredible 9. The edition had a turbulent start, and we had to move the event twice. This only served to motivate the participants even more to reach the top of Mont Ventoux on Saturday, September 11, and to find even more people willing to support the fight against ALS.

Tour du ALS could not take place in 2020 due to the corona pandemic. The organization decided to move the sporting event to 2021. The 9th edition of Tour du ALS will take place on Saturday September 11th. Even though we couldn't travel to the south of France, we didn't just let Tour du ALS 2020 pass us by.
Tour du ALS 2019
'The Legendary Eight' took place on 29 May 2019. Almost 600 participants (including 10 patients) participated. Together they raised over € 1.250.000 million! A record. The edition was also legendary because a storm already went ahead to hit the top of the Mont Ventoux at 127 km / h since that Tuesday evening. But mother nature looked over our Tour and wished us the best because halfway through the climb the storm stopped and we were able to still reach the top!

Origin of Tour du ALS
What was initially intended as a cycling tour in France for a private group, has resulted in an annual sporting fundraising event. Under the slogan "Together we kick ALS out of the world", hundreds of cyclists, runners and walkers climb Mont Ventoux every year to raise money for research into the cause of ALS.
