Registration for 10K race in France - medical certificate?
I am trying to register for the 10K de la Cite des Papes in Avignon. I have the registration form I need but I believe the fine print on the form (it is written entirely in French) says I will need to present a medical certificate prior to running. Does anyone know anything about this requirement? Can I simply present a letter from my doctor stating I am in good health or is there an actual medical waiver form that is required? If there is a form, any helpful hints for acquiring one would be greatly appreciated!! Merci Beaucoup

Thanks for your response! I contacted the race organizer, who stated they prefer the letter to be written in French and provided this example:
Je, (nom du médecin) certifie que Mme (votre nom et prénom) est apte à la pratique de la course à pied.
Date et signature avec tampon du médecin
Luckily, my doctor was perfectly happy to assist.
