Register to a French running competition
How to register for a race in France?
Two main possibilities:
- It’s a very big race like the Paris Marathon, the 20 km of Paris, Paris-Versailles, etc. The registration is done directly with the organizer site. Fortunately, for these major races, an English version can exist.
Example:
Paris-Versailles: https://www.parisversailles.com/site/en/comment-sinscrire/ - It’s a local race, smaller, with few participants, then you can go through registration platforms such as TopChrono.biz (<= 2020 update, this company doesn’t exist anymore) or Protiming.
In all cases, a medical certificate of non-contraindication to running must be presented => Read our post here
Otherwise, it’s all in French, I’ve prepared a little lexicon that presents some of the vocabulary used in running or running competitions => Read our post here
