Lake District water stays cold deep into summer, and a chilled body makes clumsy decisions before it makes a clean step. On the run sections, an ankle rolls on wet rock and a knee gives way on a steep descent. Your medical costs are covered up to €150,000.
Between crossings there is no aid station within shouting distance and no ambulance access. Getting you out can mean a safety boat and then a carry along the shoreline. Assistance and repatriation are covered at actual cost, all the way to your own front door.
Every Breca stage is chipped and ranked, which makes it official competition. The Competition option covers the stage you enter and every other race on your calendar, swimrun, trail or triathlon, at home or on any coast abroad, with training included.
Climbing out onto weed-covered rock, or falling on a loose descent, can leave lasting damage to a shoulder or a back. The permanent disability capital reaches €200,000, paid on the assessed rate, when the injury changes how you work rather than just how you train.
Swimrun stacks the hazards of two sports. You enter the water already tired, cool down fast, lose precision and start making poor calls. You climb out onto slippery rock in soaking shoes. Tides off Gower and Jersey add currents nobody controls, and the Lake District stages move quickly away from any road.
Training for this looks a lot like the event itself, with spring lake swims, sea sessions and long hours on rough trail. Year-round swimrun insurance covers those sessions as well as the stages themselves, in your own country or abroad, whatever your country of residence happens to be.
Breca Swimrun runs several stages between May and September, over courses of 20 to 50 kilometres that alternate swimming and running. Venues range from Buttermere in the Lake District to the Gower coast and Jersey, with roughly 500 entrants per stage.
You send entrants far from any road, into water and then onto rough ground, stage after stage. One subscription insures every participant across the series. Our medical assistance line is reachable day and night while the event runs, repatriation is included, anywhere in the world. We can also be a partner of your event.
Yes. Open water swimming is a covered activity, in lakes and in the sea. Cold shock, hypothermia and collisions during a crossing fall under medical costs and the assistance line.
Assistance organises the rescue from where the accident happened, using whatever the terrain requires, then transport to hospital. Medical costs incurred and repatriation to your home address are both covered.
Yes. The guarantees apply abroad exactly as they do at home, whatever your country of residence. Treatment received locally and the journey back to your address are included.
No. This is not cancellation insurance. AxeoSport pays for bodily injury caused by an accident, not for entry fees, ferry crossings or accommodation booked around the stage.
It depends on the length of cover, the formula and whether you add the Competition option. The AxeoSport online quote gives you a figure in minutes with no commitment.
