FAQ


1. How do I complete my PPS certificate?

In 2025, a medical certificate is no longer required in Marseille-Cassis. Each participant must provide a PPS certificate (Health Prevention Pathway) from July 26, 2025 or an FFA license (competition, business, running) for the 2025/2026 season in accordance with the regulations in force of the French Athletics Federation (FFA).


What is the Health Prevention Course (PPS)?
It is a digital tool in 4 steps, making you aware of the risks, precautions and recommendations related to the health of the runner.
To realize your PPS, simply indicate the date of your race, watch carefully a series of short videos dealing with 3 topics: cardiovascular risks, risk factors and precautions and recommendations; and finally attest on the honor of your personal ability to race.
Following your PPS, a PPS certificate will be downloadable in PDF format at the end of the procedure on the website, and will also be sent to you by e-mail. This certificate can then be sent to us via your runner account in the dedicated section to complete your registration.

Following the registration of your PPS, a personal PPS number will be communicated to you. This number must be entered from your runner account in the dedicated section in order to be validated electronically and complete your registration.

To be validated, your PPS must be completed within 3 months before the event. As part of Marseille-Cassis, you can realize it from July 26, 2025.
