Three distances, one exposed coastline, cover that stays put

icon Frais médicaux

Collarbone broken on wet tarmac, €150,000 of care

May brings showers to the east coast, and the roads around Saint-André are narrow and slick. A bike crash breaks a collarbone or a wrist in a second. Your medical costs are covered up to €150,000, imaging and surgery included.

icon Transport et rapatriement

Off the island with an arm in a cast

With a limb immobilised, carrying a bag or sitting through a long-haul flight without help is not realistic. Assistance and repatriation are covered at actual cost, from the transition area to your home address, with medical follow-up where needed.

icon Option compétition

The 51.5 km format and the races that follow

The long format is raced over 51.5 kilometres as official competition, chip timing and rankings included. The Competition option covers official racing, at this start and at every triathlon you line up for afterwards, training included.

icon Capital invalidité

Head injury, a capital of up to €200,000

A head trauma or a spinal injury after a fall can change a life overnight. The permanent disability capital goes up to €200,000, money that funds long-term care, help at home and the changes a house suddenly needs.

Rain turns the bike leg into the risky part

The windward side of Réunion is the wet side. A May shower leaves the road greasy, the return towards Saint-André comes fast, and tyres chosen for dry tarmac stop gripping. Add the humidity, which pushes heart rates up and makes the run feel longer than the number on the sign.

Most triathlon training happens without a marshal in sight: open roads, early morning sea swims, solo long rides. That is where a large share of accidents occur. Our triathlon insurance applies to those sessions as well as to race day, wherever you happen to be based.

FAQ

Answers for Triathlon du Colosse entrants

Yes. All three distances fall under the same guarantee. How far you race changes neither the medical expenses ceiling nor the way repatriation is organised and paid for.

Yes. Ocean swimming is part of the insured practice. Feeling unwell in the water, a cut, or a knock on the way out of the swim are all treated as bodily accidents.

The guarantee does not depend on your country of residence. Treatment received on the island is covered, then assistance arranges your journey back to your home address, wherever that is.

No. Individual accident insurance does not behave like cancellation cover. It responds to the bodily consequences of an accident, not to a refund of an entry or a trip.

It depends on the formula you pick, how long cover runs and whether the Competition option is added. The online quote works out your price live, with no paperwork at all.
