To make sure you are at your best on the big day, perfectly ready to put your best foot forward and mentally prepared to concentrate on your goal, there is nothing like a little “to do list”.
Here are five ESSENTIALS to stick on your list:
1. Prepare your medical certificate
Your trainers already know all about it and your legs soon will too: you have signed up for a sports competition. You therefore need to provide a medical certificate (or a copy of one) on the day you pick up your race bib (Friday 8th or Saturday 9th March).
To save time and avoid any stress, but also to respect the environment, you can now directly upload your medical certificate/licence to your time to account. You can upload your medical certificate/ licence below your registration for the 2019 Harmonie Mutuelle Semi de Paris. You can check the status of your medical certificate /licence in the same place and ensure that it has been validated.
REMEMBER, the certificate must fulfil several criteria:
- It must mention “no counter indication to taking part in athletics competitions” or “no counter indication to taking part in running competitions” or “no counter indication to taking part in sport competitions”.
- It must be dated within one year of the Harmonie Mutuelle Semi de Paris, i.e. no earlier than 10th March 2019.
To avoid errors, we recommend you use the online template:
You are, however, exempt from providing a medical certificate if you fall within one of the following three categories:
- You are a Fédération Française d'Athlétisme licenced runner.
- You are an FSCF, FSGT or UFOLEP licenced runner (the licence must include the word “athletics”).
In these cases, upload your licence to your time to account. But remember, the licence must, of course, be valid on the day of the race!
2. Find us in the Village
Go to the Harmonie Mutuelle Semi de Paris Village to pick up your race bib. The Village will be located in La VILLETTE (Espace Charlie Parker) and will be open on:
- Friday 8th March from 10am to 8pm
- Saturday 9th March from 9am to 7pm
To pick up your race number, you need:

4. Have you thought about insurance?
Of course, we only want you to have fun during the race, but sometimes unexpected things happen. We suggest that you think about any insurance that you might need to ensure that the Harmonie Mutuelle Semi de Paris is an excellent day.
This Personal Accident Insurance is offered by the organiser's insurer so that you are correctly covered during your participation in the Harmonie Mutuelle Semi de Paris 2019.
It is optional but is strongly recommended.
As you may know, the vast majority of your usual insurance policies (particularly your car insurance, insurance provided automatically through your bank cards, household insurance, bank loan insurance, etc.) totally exclude any participation in sports events either on an amateur or professional basis, and therefore exclude the risks involved in your taking part in the Harmonie Mutuelle Semi de Paris.
It is therefore important that you check the extent of the cover provided by your normal insurance policies (and the exclusions) and, if you are not sufficiently covered or not covered at all, you should consider taking out the proposed insurance policies by clicking on the link below.
This insurance will cover you if you have an accident whilst taking part in the event, whether or not you were responsible and whether or not there is an identified responsible third party. You are only covered during the event from the time you cross the starting line until the time you cross the finishing line or you abandon the event.
In the event of an accident during your participation in the event, it covers:
- medical costs (within the limits that you have chosen),
- in the event of death or total or partial permanent disability (due to this accident): the payment of compensation (within the limits that you have chosen)
This cover Individual Accident is optional but highly recommended. It can be taken out in addition to any existing insurance you may already have or if you are not already covered. You may purchase the cover from the insurer of your choice, from your federation or from Aon, organizer’s broker, whose proposal (detailed notice and application form) can be consulted and downloaded by clicking on the link below. You can subscribe to the option providing the minimum cover for this offer during your registration for the event and other options by downloading the relevant form here and sending it directly to Aon (aso@aon.com).
