If you register online, the email confirmation of registration (which you receive when your payment is validated, it is quite fast) which acts as a number withdrawal order. If you register by mail, the number withdrawal order are sent in September (we recommend that you register before August rather than the last time).

The answering service of our racing office in Versailles starts only in September, and there are periods when the line is often busy. You can contact us by email, we try when it is possible to answer it within 24 hours.

Numbers and chips being put under envelope at the last moment, it is impossible to manage for some particular cases a sending by mail (with the risk that it never arrives at home). The withdrawal is necessarily made at our Village Expo, or on Sunday morning in Paris for the provincials and foreigners.

You can ask us by email if your medical certificate was well taken into account. Please note the reference of your registration on the runners list, it will help us find all information about your registration.

From the moment your registration is confirmed on the runners list, go directly to the reception of the number withdrawal, this will not cause any difficulty.

If you could pick up his number withdrawal order (or his confirmation of registration by Internet and medical certificate), no problem, you can directly withdraw his number and chip in his place. Otherwise, please report to reception with a photocopy of the ID Card of your friend (who will act as proxy), do not forget anything that would be missing in its registration.

By safety for the runners and the walkers, it is formally forbidden to accompany participants by a means other one than pedestrian.

Of course not, walkers are welcome. They contribute as much as the runners to the popular aspect of one of the oldest foot race.

A chip is delivered to you with your number. Attach it properly to a lace of shoe. Your time is measured to the second, during the passage on mats at the start and in the arrival.

The organization cannot regrettably take back the many runners leaving towards Paris. However, you can take the RER (rapid transit rail system in the Paris region) line C, from the "Château de Versailles" station located 500 meters from the finish line. Another possibility to join Paris is the station of "Versailles Chantiers" (towards Montparnasse) or "Versailles Rive Droite" (towards Saint-Lazare).

The race, in spite of the reputation of the "Côte des gardes", is still easier than a half marathon. Be careful on the last climb to Viroflay (before the feeding station of km 14) who is redoubtable, as well as the slight incline of the Avenue de Paris in Versailles, which can seem endless.
