Registration conditions for PTL, TDS, MCC, ETC & YCC

Only teams of 2 or 3 people may apply.

The application must include a file which lists the previous experience of each team member. Technical experience in a mountain environment, sporting background and team motivation will be evaluated.

Registration dates

Pre-registration will be open from January 3 to 10, 2023 during which time the team leader will apply for the entire team.

Each team member must create their own My UTMB account before the team leader submits the application.

Registration fees

1400€ per team, excluding administration fees.

Conditions of participation

Only teams of 2 or 3 people may apply. The application must include a file which lists the previous experience of each team member. Technical experience in a mountain environment, sporting background and team motivation will be evaluated. Each team will be required to complete a self-assesment form (available here). Any other additional documents will not be taken into account.

Warning: Having the ability to communicate with the organization during the event (Race HQ, volunteers, rescue teams...) is essential to ensure the safety of all participants. That is why it is mandatory that at least one team member is fluent in either French, English or Italian (the languages of the organization). A good level of speaking and understanding, including on the phone, is required and will be tested at the race pack collection. The PTL Committee reserves the right to prevent a team from starting the race if it considers that the aforementioned condition is not fulfilled.

Self-assesment form

This form is to be filled in electronically and attached to the application.

Evaluation process

The PTL Committee will meet to review each file. Only the Committee may take the decision to accept or refuse an application. Its decision is final.

Results of the evaluation process / Lottery

If the number of teams accepted by the PTL Committee exceeds the maximum number of runners that can be accepted, a lottery will be carried out.

The draw will be organized in such a way as to favor teams of 3 over teams of 2. If all the teams of 3 selected after the examination of the files do not reach the limit of 300 runners, a draw will be made among the teams of 2. If the total number of teams of 3 selected after the examination of the files exceeds the limit of 300 runners, a draw will be made among the teams of 3 and no team of 2 will be selected.

The results of the examination of the files (or of the lottery if it takes place) will be sended by email on January 20, 2023.

Accepted applications and selected lottery applicants

If the team’s application is accepted by the PTL Committee and if the team is selected in the lottery, the team leader has 11 days, from January 20 to January 31, 2023 to finalize their registration by paying by credit card.

Rejected applications and/or unaccepted lottery applicants

If the team's application is rejected by the PTL Committee, or if the team is not selected via the lottery, no special benefits will be credited to the team members.
