Running in France: How to Register !

Looking to join one of the 5,000 running events in France? You're in the right place to learn more! Starting from September 1, 2024, the registration form will have some changes, so we're here to explain everything you need to know to ensure a smooth start! ๐Ÿ˜‰

What Information Do I Need to Provide? ๐Ÿค”

To participate in a road race, a trail run, a marathon, or a 10K, the registration process is quite straightforward: to secure your race bib ๐ŸŽฝ, you'll need to complete a form ๐Ÿ’ป. Just like anywhere else, you'll be asked for basic personal information, so nothing too complicated! ๐Ÿ˜Œ For timed races โฑ๏ธ, youโ€™ll need to provide a health clearance. Formerly known as a "medical certificate", the new requirement is called the Health Prevention Path (PPS)! You wonโ€™t need to visit a doctor ๐Ÿง‘โ€โš•๏ธ to get it. Hereโ€™s how to obtain your pass for your next race ๐Ÿ‘‡.

How Do I Get My PPS? โœ…

Once you visit the website https://pps.athle.fr/, available in 4 languages, you will need to enter your personal information, which will appear on your certificate. Then, youโ€™ll follow the 4-video sequence provided by the platform! These videos are preventive and aim to raise awareness among participants about the different risks associated with running: potential risk situations (unusual feelings, age-related precautions ๐Ÿ‘ต, habits that might harm your health, etc.), an invitation to consult a doctor if any risks are identified ๐Ÿฉบ, a reminder about the importance of learning lifesaving techniques, and finally, access to a database on health and running ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ. The PPS is valid for 3 months, so youโ€™ll need to renew it if you plan to register for another race! ๐Ÿšฉ

Now that youโ€™re in the know, there's no reason to miss any documents for your race bib pick-up! ๐Ÿค— The PPS is mandatory for adults, but not for members of a track and field federation (or the equivalent), or for minors ๐Ÿง’. Participants under 18 will need to complete a health questionnaire and provide parental consent to join the race! ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘งโ€๐Ÿ‘ฆ This way, you can even share your love for running and participate as a family ๐Ÿ˜Ž. Thousands of events are waiting for you in the Finishersโ€™ calendar! ๐Ÿฅ‡
