---------------------------------

• To validate your registration for any of the events, you must, when you collect your bib on site, provide a medical certificate, issued less than one year prior to the date of the race, stating that there is no contraindication for taking part in athletics or (and) cycling competitions. We suggest you to use the specific medical certificate.

• On top of that, in order to validate your registration on the Trail Prologue, and particularly for the Trail Merrell Oxygen Series, you must bring with you a resting electrocardiogram and hand in on site the "specific" medical certificate signed by a sports doctor or cardiologist less than one year prior to the race, stating that the results of the electrocardiogram allow you to take part in the Trail. The resting electrocardiogram is mandatory, but, in addition, an exercise electrocardiogram is also recommended since the 4’30 uphill race requires significant cardiovascular effort.

• Before Registering, please read the information note about the Individual Accident Insurance that is optional and highly recommended :
      - Individual Accident information note
      - Individual Accident Enrolment Form

• Please note that this is a dossier number and that bibs will be issued later depending on the events chosen.
