Running in France: How to Register !

What Information Do I Need to Provide? 🤔

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 🎽, you'll need to complete a form 💻. Just like anywhere else, you'll be asked for basic personal information, so nothing too complicated! 😌 For timed races ⏱️, you’ll need to provide a health clearance. Formerly known as a "medical certificate", the new requirement is called the Health Prevention Path (PPS)! You won’t need to visit a doctor 🧑‍⚕️ to get it. Here’s how to obtain your pass for your next race 👇.

How Do I Get My PPS? ✅

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, you’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 👵, habits that might harm your health, etc.), an invitation to consult a doctor if any risks are identified 🩺, a reminder about the importance of learning lifesaving techniques, and finally, access to a database on health and running 🏃‍♀️. The PPS is valid for 3 months, so you’ll need to renew it if you plan to register for another race! 🚩

Now that you’re in the know, there's no reason to miss any documents for your race bib pick-up! 🤗 The PPS is mandatory for adults, but not for members of a track and field federation (or the equivalent), or for minors 🧒. Participants under 18 will need to complete a health questionnaire and provide parental consent to join the race! 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 This way, you can even share your love for running and participate as a family 😎. Thousands of events are waiting for you in the Finishers’ calendar! 🥇
