XTERRA France 2024

The daily protection is mandatory if you don't hold a triathlon licence.

As part of the Sports Law of 2 March 2022, the French Triathlon Federation, on the recommendation of its National Medical Commission on 09 February 2023, has decided to abolish the requirement to produce a medical certificate stating that there are no contraindications to participation in sport, and to replace it with this form.

• You are a woman and have not had your period for over 3 months,
