Mont Blanc Trails

Inscriptions for the Ultra Trail Mont Blanc opened today at 8am, and I was up an on the internet to sign up as soon as it opened.

So as far as I can tell I am now signed up, and all I need to do now is send in a special medical certificate before the end of May. This was a little confusing on the site, as it seemed to suggest after signing up that I may miss out if I don’t get my certificate in before others do ? I don’t like contradictory information (I’m going to take it as a miss-translation as the French Reglement seem fairly clear ?!). Still I’d better get my medical done and sent off soon just to make sure ! This is the second one I’ve had to do as the one I got for the Mont Blanc Marathon isn’t accepted for the UTMB - you need a special one unique to this event !

**EDIT**

It looks like a few other people have also got worried by what it says after you sign up, regarding the medical certificate, and there has been a confirmation of the rules on the [news][] page.

>vous vous êtes inscrits par internet ET vous avez payé par Carte Bancaire : votre inscription est OK. Il suffit désormais de nous envoyer l’original du certificat 2007, par courrier uniquement, avant le 31 mai 2007. Ce n’est qu’en cas de non présentation dans ce délais de votre certificat que votre inscription peut être remise en cause,

So roughly if you have signed up via the internet, AND payed by credit card then your registration is fine, as long as you send your medical cretificate before the 31 May.

So i am registered, which is fantastic, now I have to make sure I get fit!
