Medical certificate or license

This year we are entrusting the management of supporting documents to Dokeop, a document management platform (medical certificates, sports licenses, …) designed to make your life easier when registering for competitions.

As for the accepted licences :

• Athlé Compétition, Athlé Entreprise, Athlé Running or “Pass’ J’aime Courir” issued by the FFA and with a valid date.
• A sports licence, valid on the date of the competition, issued by one of the approved federations and on which must appear, by any means, the non-contraindication to the practice of sport in competition, athletics in competition or running in competition.

How does it work?
You will no longer be asked to provide a medical certificate or a copy of your licence when you register online for the event.

1/ Once you have registered for the event, you will receive an email from Dokeop inviting you to submit your document on its platform.
Please note: the email from Dokeop is sent to the email address you used to register for the event. Also remember to check your spam.
At any time, it is possible to receive a new document submission link from the email address you used to register for the event. Just go to the Dokeop homepage (click on “submit a document”) or directly to the link renewal page.
2/ As soon as your document is checked, Dokeop will inform us of its status (valid / refused / awaiting document / awaiting validation) so that we can update and, if necessary, finalise your registration.
Please note: The creation of a Dokeop member account is not mandatory to submit your document. However, we advise you to do so if you wish to benefit from all the advantages (recognition of your document for your next registrations / secure storage / reminder before expiry / personalised dashboard)
If you have any questions or complaints regarding the processing of your document, please consult the Dokeop FAQ.

Rules of the race

The Organizer entrusts DOKEOP SAS with the management of supporting documents via its application. Its missions are :

• Collecting the supporting documents of the participants registered for the event.

• Verify that these supporting documents comply with the rules of the event and the legislation in force.

• Regular follow up by email of the participants who have not yet submitted their supporting documents.

• Communicate the status of each verified supporting document to the organizer of the event: in wait of verification/ valid / refused

• Archive these supporting documents on a secure server. 

To finalize the registration for the event, the participant will receive an email from Dokeop inviting them to submit their application document within a time limit set by the organizer of the event. The use of the application implies the immediate and unconditional
acceptance of Dokeop’s terms and conditions.
The participant then must follow the link to the Application. You are free to create a member account or not.
The Application is independent of the Sports Event Registration Platform used by the organizer.
The Participant or the gurdian guarantees the accuracy of the data transmitted as well as the authenticity of the supporting documents. In the absence of accuracy and/or authenticity of the supporting document, the participant may not claim either against DOKEOP SAS or against the Organizer, particularly in case of an accident occurring during his/her participation in the sporting event.
DOKEOP SAS reserves the right to refuse any document that it considers suspicious and possibly falsified with regard to a bundle of clues. It is reminded in this respect that the production of a false medical certificate constitutes an offence of forgery and use of forgery: article 441-1 of the Penal Code punishes this offence with a sentence of up to three years
imprisonment and a fine of up to 45,000 euros

 It is specified that any Supporting Document submitted by an Athlete or his/her legal representative must meet the requirements set out in the French Sports Code (Articles L231-2 et seq.) for Athletes who wish to practice within the federal framework because they wish to participate in a sports competition authorised by a sports federation.

Medical certificates must mention: (i) the absence of any contraindication to the practice of the sport or discipline concerned “in competition” or “as a leisure activity”, (ii) be dated less than one year before the date of the competition for participation in a competition without a licence and (iii) include the contact details, signature and stamp of the doctor who carried out the Athlete’s examination.

In the case of disciplines with particular constraints as referred to in article L231-2-3 of the French Sports Code, a medical certificate less than one (1) year old must be provided establishing the absence of contraindication to the practice of the discipline concerned only when obtaining the first licence and then when renewing it.

In accordance with article D. 231-1-4-1 of the French Sports Code, for minors, with a view to registering for a sporting competition as referred to in article L. 231-2-1, the athlete and the persons exercising parental authority shall jointly fill in a questionnaire relating to his or her state of health, the content of which is specified in article A. 231-3 of the French Sports Code.

The persons exercising parental authority over the minor athlete shall certify to the Organiser that each of the sections of the questionnaire is answered in the negative. Failing this, they are required to produce a medical certificate attesting to the absence of contraindication to the practice of the sport or discipline concerned “in competition” or “in leisure” dating back no more than six (6) months.

Dokeop accepts Supporting Documents written in the languages accepted by the regulations of the federation of the discipline concerned. If not specified in the rules, only Supporting Documents written in French or in a foreign language with a French translation are accepted. The content of the French translation shall prevail over the content in the foreign language.
