How can I sign up to take part in the PdG?

 

1.  I carefully read the Rules of the Patrouille des Glaciers 2022

2.  In order to sign up a patrol, all members need to have an MSO profile. If I don't already have one, I can create one here. If if the other members of my patrol already have an MSO profile I can choose it during the registration process, otherwise I can directly create one for them while signing up.

3.  Gather all the information of all the members of your patrol, before you start the registration process. Depending on the category you choose, some quite specific information is required. For example if you want to sign up a swiss military patrol, you will be asked to provide the social security number of all patrol members. This information is then used to verify if all participants in this category have actually servec in the swiss army.

4.  I sign up using the registration platform. I read the questions carefully and fill in the correct answers to the questions. This helps the organizers to provide you the best possible experience.

5.  I pay my registration using one of the proposed payment methods.

6.  Once the payment is done, I verify that I got a confirmation by email.

7.  I start training for the race and look forward to the result of the lottery for the starting places.
