Hear how athletes around the world have used Fit Certify to get their sports medical certificates.
A triathlon medical certificate is a document issued by a licensed doctor confirming that you are medically fit to take part in a triathlon. Many organisers, especially in Europe such as France, Italy, and Spain, make this a mandatory requirement before they will accept your entry. It’s most often needed for major competitions like Ironman, long-distance endurance events, and even shorter sprint or Olympic-distance triathlons.
At Fit Certify, our team of sports doctors can issue a triathlon medical certificate online and send it to you the same day in PDF format. The process is simple, convenient, and designed to meet the specific wording and standards required by international race organisers. You don’t need to arrange an in-person appointment — everything is handled quickly and securely online.
We support triathletes of all levels across the UK and worldwide, making sure they have the right documentation for race day. Whether you’re preparing for your first Ironman abroad, entering a French triathlon, or competing in a local event, our doctors can issue your medical certificate in a matter of just hours.
Preparing for a triathlon is tough enough — getting your medical certificate shouldn’t be. With Fit Certify, you can get an official, doctor-signed certificate recognised by triathlon events in France, Italy, Europe, and worldwide — all without the hassle of booking an appointment.

Sports Medicine Doctor • Athlete • Founder & Chief Medical Officer at Fit Certify
I’m Simon, Chief Medical Officer and Co-Founder of Fit Certify. After 15 years working in emergency medicine, I’ve spent the last seven years leading a dedicated team of sports doctors who provide medical certificates for endurance athletes competing worldwide.
As both a doctor and an endurance athlete — having competed in cycling and triathlon events myself — I understand the commitment it takes to train for races like IRONMAN 70.3, Challenge Roth, and international triathlons in France and Italy. I also know how stressful it can be when a last-minute certificate requirement puts your hard-earned race place at risk.
That’s why I started Fit Certify: to make the process of getting a triathlon medical certificate simple, fast, and fully compliant with international race regulations.
If you ever need advice, have questions about your certificate, or run into issues with your race application, you can reach us directly at hello@fitcertify.com. My team and I are here to ensure you get your certificate quickly — so you can focus on training, not paperwork.
Many international triathlons — particularly in France, Italy, and across Europe — require you to submit a medical certificate on their official event template. These forms usually confirm that you have no medical contraindications and are fit to compete.
With Fit Certify, you can simply upload your event’s certificate template during the application process. Our sports doctors will review your health details, then sign, stamp, and complete the form exactly as required.
We also handle the official FITRI medical certificate template, which is mandatory for many triathlons in Italy. This ensures your paperwork is correctly filled in and accepted by the organisers first time.
So whether you’re entering an IRONMAN in Italy, a FITRI-sanctioned race, or another international triathlon, you can rely on us to get your certificate right the first time!
Applying for your triathlon medical certificate with Fit Certify is straightforward, but it’s also thorough enough to ensure your certificate is valid, compliant, and accepted by organisers. Here’s what we’ll ask for:
That’s all it takes — no in-person appointment, no delays. Once your information is submitted, one of our experienced sports doctors will carefully review it, clarify anything if necessary, and issue your signed and stamped certificate, usually within just a few hours. With our guaranteed same-day turnaround, you’ll have your medical certificate ready well before your race deadline.
Every triathlon medical certificate issued by Fit Certify is prepared to meet the requirements of international race organisers. Events in countries like Italy (FITRI) and France often insist on very precise wording and formatting — and our doctors are experienced in ensuring every certificate is fully compliant.
Your certificate will include:
You’ve put months into training — your medical certificate should support that effort, not hold you back. At Fit Certify, our sports doctors understand the demands of triathlon and the paperwork organisers require. From IRONMAN races to FITRI-sanctioned events in Italy, we make sure your certificate is completed correctly, signed by a registered doctor, and delivered in time for your entry.
A triathlon medical certificate is a doctor-signed document confirming that you have no medical contraindications to competitive triathlon. It is required by many international organisers, especially in France and Italy, to prove you are fit and safe to race.
The FITRI medical certificate is the official form issued by the Federazione Italiana Triathlon (FITRI) in Italy. It must be signed and stamped by a doctor to confirm your fitness for competitive triathlon. Without this template, athletes are not permitted to take part in FITRI-sanctioned events.
Yes. In Italy, a valid medical certificate is mandatory for almost all triathlon events. Most races, especially those sanctioned by FITRI, require the official FITRI medical certificate template to be completed by a doctor.
Yes. IRONMAN 70.3 triathlons in Italy require athletes to provide a valid medical certificate. In most cases, this must be completed on the official FITRI form and signed by a licensed doctor. Without it, your race registration cannot be finalised.
It depends on the country. In Italy and France, IRONMAN events require a valid medical certificate (often using the FITRI or French federation template). In other countries, the rules vary — always check the event organiser’s entry requirements.
In most cases, no. NHS GPs are not obliged to issue sports medical certificates, and many will decline due to time and insurance reasons. UK athletes usually need to obtain a triathlon medical certificate through a private sports doctor service such as Fit Certify.
You can get a triathlon medical certificate in the UK by booking a private consultation with a sports doctor or using an online service like Fit Certify, which provides same-day certificates reviewed and signed by expert sports doctors.

Most triathlons in France, Italy, and other European countries require a medical certificate. This includes IRONMAN, IRONMAN 70.3, Challenge Series, and FITRI-sanctioned events. Always check your race’s entry requirements in advance.
A triathlon medical certificate is typically valid for 12 months from the date of issue. This means you can often use the same certificate for multiple triathlon events within a year, as long as it is still within its validity period.
A triathlon medical certificate usually includes:
Your name and date of birth
A statement confirming no medical contraindications to competitive triathlon
The date of issue and validity period
The signature and stamp of a licensed doctor
Some events also require the use of official templates, such as the FITRI form in Italy.
Yes, sometimes. Many events accept a general triathlon medical certificate, but races in Italy (FITRI) and France often require their official federation template to be completed and signed by a doctor.
Yes. As long as your certificate is still valid (usually 12 months from the date of issue) and contains the correct wording, you can use it for multiple triathlon events. However, some organisers may require their own template to be completed.
