Registration Conditions

Pre-registration will be open to competitors from 14 December 2023 at 11:00 a.m. (Paris time) until 11 January 2024 at 11:59 p.m. (Paris time). No entries will be accepted outside these pre-registration dates.

• To participate, you must ensure that you meet all pre-registration conditions: have at least 1 Running Stone, a valid UTMB Index in the relevant race category to pre-register.
• Only runners admitted to the draw on 11 January 2024 will participate.
• One may cancel their pre-registration until the end of the pre-registration period: 11 January 2024.

The results of the draw will be published on 16 January 2024. The selected runners will have until 29 January 2024 to confirm their registration by paying the participation fee.

For safety reasons, runners must prove their experience before registering for the following races:

• UTMB: UTMB index valid in categories 100K or 100M
• CCC: UTMB index valid in categories 50K, 100K or 100M
• OCC: UTMB index valid in categories 20K, 50K, 100K or 100M

During the HOKA UTMB Mont-Blanc week, runners are limited to participate in only one race. In cases where a runner completes registration for one of the non-lottery races (TDS, ETC, MCC, PTL or YCC) and also pre-registers in the lottery for a final race (UTMB, CCC, OCC), the completed registration will be prioritized, and the pre-registration for the lottery race will be cancelled. For instance, if a runner is registered for the ETC and has pre-registered for the OCC, their OCC lottery registration will be voided.
Runners who do not secure a spot through the lottery have the opportunity to register for the TDS, YCC, ETC, MCC, or YCC, provided there are remaining bibs. These will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Please note that the organization reserves the right to cancel, without any refund, the registrations of runners found to have registered in multiple races at the HOKA UTMB Mont-Blanc.

Registration will be open to runners from 14 December 2023 at 11:00 a.m. (Paris time) on a first-come, first-served basis, subject to availability.

Runners may only register for one race. The organisers will cancel, without any refund, the registrations of runners who have entered more than one race during the week of the HOKA UTMB Mont-Blanc.

The MCC is reserved for the HOKA UTMB Mont-Blanc volunteers, partners and local runners. Therefore, special registration conditions apply to each of these groups.

Volunteers
Priority will be given to people who have done significant volunteer work during the 2023 edition of the HOKA UTMB Mont-Blanc. Volunteers interested in registering for the MCC should contact their site manager before registration opens.

Local runners
Local runners are defined as the inhabitants of Valais, Aosta Valley, Savoy and Haute-Savoie. The post code indicated at the time of registration will be considered as proof. A document proving residence will be required to validate the registration. In the event of false declarations or forgery of address, the organisers will cancel the runner's registration without refunding the entry fee.

Runners may only register for one race. The organisers will cancel, without any refund, the registrations of runners who have entered more than one race during the week of the HOKA UTMB Mont-Blanc.

Parental consent
Participants under 18 years of age on race day must also provide parental consent (second part of the official medical certificate form, downloadable from the runners' area).

A pre-registration period will be in effect from 14 December 2023 to 11 January 2024, during which the team leader will pre-register their entire team at once. Each teammate must have previously created a MyUTMB account.

Requirements for participation
Registration is only open to teams consisting of 2 or 3 people. Pre-registration is based on the submission of a brief outlining the previous experience of each team member. Technical experience in a mountain environment, sporting background and team motivation will be assessed. Each team must complete a self-assessment matrix (available here). Any additional documents will not be taken into account.

Please note: being able to communicate with the organisers during the event (Race HQ, field volunteers, emergency services, etc.) is essential to ensure the participants' safety. For this reason, at least one team member must be fluent in French, English or Italian (the languages used by organisers). A good level of communication and understanding is required, including via the telephone, which will be checked during the bib delivery. The PTL Committee has the right to prevent a team from starting if it considers that this condition is not met.

Review of dossiers
The PTL Committee will meet to review each application. The Committee is the only body that can decide whether to accept or reject a team's pre-registration. Its decision is indisputable.

Results of the dossier review/ draw
If, after examining the dossiers, the number of teams accepted by the PTL Committee is higher than the maximum number of riders allowed, a draw will be made. The draw will be organised in such a way as to favour teams of 3 over teams of 2. If the total number of teams of 3 selected after examination of the dossiers exceeds the limit of 300 riders, a draw will be made from among the teams of 2. The results of the examination of the applications (or the draw, if any) will be announced by e-mail on 16 January 2024.

Application accepted and successful draw
If the team's application is accepted by the PTL Committee and the draw is successful, the team manager is granted the period from 16 January 2024 to 29 January 2024 to complete the payment of the entry fee by credit card.

Application rejected and/or draw with negative result
If the team application is rejected by the PTL Committee or the draw has a negative outcome, the team members will not receive any specific benefits.

Runners may only register for one race. The organisers will cancel, without any refund, the registrations of runners who have entered more than one race during the week of the HOKA UTMB Mont-Blanc.

Registration via charity bibs will take place from 30 November 2023. All information and the registration procedure can be found at this link: https://montblanc.utmb.world/fr/get-involved/take-action/charity-bibs

Please note: Registration via charity bibs ber is subject to the same rules as standard registration (minimum 1 Running Stone, valid UTMB index according to race, registration fee, etc.) other than the fact that the runner is not subject to a draw. Under no circumstances may the donor recover all or part of his donation. From the moment of registration, the runner is subject to the same race rules as everyone else, even if he/she cancels his/her registration.

Runners wishing to benefit from a press or sponsor bib for one of the 3 UTMB World Series Finals races (UTMB, CCC, OCC) at the time of registration must provide:

• at least one Running Stone earned in the last two years
• a valid UTMB® index in the category admitted to the final

Runners have the option of registering as a 'group' (a local club or a simple group of friends). The objective of a group entry is that all group members have the same result in the draw, and this may be positive or negative.

The following rule applies: each group member participates in the draw with the lowest number of Running Stones held by one of the runners in the group. If the group obtains participation for a final, only the number of Running Stones used will be deducted from each runner.

NB: group registration only concerns runners who have to be drawn. Runners who have a reserved place cannot pre-register as a group.

Registration is personal and non-transferable. It will not be refunded for any reason, unless otherwise stated in the regulations. Entries may not be transferred to another race or to another person for any reason.

• Cancellation insurance The purpose of this cancellation insurance is to enable runners to receive a full refund of the entry fee if they wish to cancel their entry for the reasons described in the terms and conditions of insurance, available below:
  https://assur-connect.com/cg-beticketing-one/

The cancellation insurance must be stipulated at the time of registration.

• Refund without insurance : If the participant does not subscribe to the insurance, no refund will be possible.

• Running Stones and cancellation of an entry Runners who wish to cancel their registration will be refunded the Running Stones used to participate in the lottery as indicated below:

• Runners who have contracted a cancellation insurance and who are cancelling their registration before race day will be reimbursed 100% of the Running Stones used to participate in the lottery.

• Runners who have not subscribed to cancellation insurance and are cancelling their registration before the day of the race will be entitled to a refund of 50% of the Running Stones used to participate in the lottery (rounded up to the nearest whole number).

Example: A runner has used 9 Running Stones for the UTMB lottery. He/she wishes to cancel the entry, but has not signed up for a cancellation insurance, so he/she will be reimbursed 5 Running Stones.

In the case of the cancellation of a race, for any reason whatsoever, decided more than 15 days before the departure date, a partial refund of the registration fees will be made. The amount of this refund will be determined in such a way as to enable the organization to cover all the non-recoverable expenses incurred as of the date of cancellation. In the event of cancellation decided less than 15 days before departure or in the event of interruption of the race, for any reason whatsoever, no registration refund will be made.

You can contact us via the appropriate form to benefit from priority registration under the conditions indicated in the link above.
