If you would like to take part in certain mass participation events in France or Italy, it is obligatory that you provide a valid medical certificate. The certificate must state that there is no issue from a health point of view preventing you from take part in a cycling event. A copy of the medical certificate will be accepted, so you can keep the original certificate for future use while it is still valid. Your medical certificate should be signed by a doctor and the certificate must be dated within a year of the event date.

 

Your options to obtain a medical certificate

1. Print out the event’s standard document and take it to your doctor.
2. Use the Destination Sport Experiences online medical certification service.

Option 1: certificate signed by your own doctor

Ahead of making an appointment with your doctor, you should download and print the standard document from the event website. To save you searching we’ve listed a few below.

For some people it may not be that easy to make an appointment with a doctor or your doctor may charge for this. You also may not want to add an extra burden to your local healthcare service as they will prioritize people with a more urgent medical need. That’s why we’re introducing an online medical certification service. Simply fill out the online questionnaire, pay the fee and your certificate will be delivered to you electronically. You will get a generic medical certificate without specific event names on it that can be used as many times as you want within one year of it being issued.
