Since 16 January 2024, the FFA has introduced the Parcours Prévention Santé (PPS) for all non-licensed adult participants in running competitions organised in France, replacing the medical certificate.

All non-licensed adult participants registering for a timed event in the Marathon du Beaujolais must log on to the dedicated web platform pps.athle. fr in the 3 months prior to the competition and follow the various steps designed to raise awareness of the risks, precautions and recommendations associated with running, via educational content (text and video).

At the end of the PPS, participants will be able to print out their certificate of completion (temporary number) and provide it to the organisers before the race by completing their online registration form.
