Anyone know of a website where I can find races around the French/Swiss border.
Going to Annecy/Chamonix in mid July and would like to do a few races if possible.

On this site

enter 74 in the 'département' category and 'juillet' for the 'uniquement mois de' one.
Don't forget that if you're a member of a UKA affiliated club you need to get permission from UKA before you can race abroad! (if I read it right of coourse)
http://www.ukathletics.net/competitions/rules/ - rule 4, section 5.
Do you think that if everyone who wanted to do a race or two while they were on their hols wrote in asking for permission, that UKA would grind to a halt?
FITC, I'll be in France in the summer.
9th-16th Aug I'm between Tours & Angers & 16th-23rd Aug I'll be between Caen & Rouen. I'm sure the family would love for me to do a race on their holiday . I'm not fussy about the surface or type of running.
Will I need some sort of doctors note?
I've just decided I don't trust you anymore.
There usually isn't much going on in France in August, but there's this 10k race in Vignats (somewhere near Caen) at 5 pm on August 18th.

As for the medical certificate, it's better to be safe than sorry, as there can be some 'jobsworth' type people in charge of races.
A certificate including the information below should suffice.
