No, we do not ask for a medical certificate.
Yes, you can have it yourself or purchase the one offered by the organisation, but it must comply with the requirements of the Registration Conditions appendix:
*Every participant must compulsorily be in possession of an individual accident insurance that covers the costs of rescue and evacuation in the mountains, in Spanish and French territory up to at least 3,000 metres above sea level, as well as the probable costs of hospitalisation. The insurance must cover the practice of trail running and participation in long distance races in the mountains. The insurance can be taken out by any organisation, federation or insurance company of the participant's choice. However, the organisation offers runners who have not taken out the appropriate insurance, or who wish to extend their cover, the possibility of taking out one at the time of registration. Highly recommended for all runners. When collecting the race bib, runners will be asked to check the validity of their insurance policy by presenting the corresponding card or supporting document.
It is possible to change from one race to another race of shorter distance up to 1 month before (31 May) the race if places are available. The difference in registration fees will not be refunded. It is also possible to change to a longer distance by paying the difference in registration fees. Both changes can be made directly by the runner via the registration page.
In the case of the VDA, the runner must send an email to valdaran@service.utmb.world requesting the change of distance, and it will be the race organisers who will decide whether to accept it or not. In this case, the runner will have to pay the difference in price. The final price will be the price in force at the time of acceptance of the change by the organisation.
Yes. However, refunds are only available for runners who have purchased the cancellation insurance at the time of registration, provided that the reason for cancellation is covered by the conditions set out in the appendix Conditions of registration.
No, you are allowed to transfer your registration.
Yes, you can book it from your registration page. It's free for runners. Once you finish your race, you can take the bus to return to your place of origin.
