On a popular 10K the opening stretch is run elbow to elbow, and one clipped heel puts you on the ground. Wrist fracture, deep graze, concussion: your medical costs are guaranteed up to €150,000, from the emergency room through imaging and surgery.
Plenty of entrants travel in from elsewhere in France or from overseas for this March fixture. If an accident leaves you unable to fly home as planned, assistance and repatriation are covered at actual cost, from the scene to your home address.
Rankings, timing mats and official results move your outing into the competitive bracket, which standard policies routinely exclude. The Competition option covers your participation on the 5K and the 10K, and on every other race you enter during the year.
A clash with street furniture, an unseen kerb or a fall during the final sprint can leave consequences that never fully clear. A permanent disability capital sum of up to €200,000 is then paid, covering rehabilitation, home changes and a slower return to work.
La Dionysienne is a first-ever bib for many of its entrants, and that is where trouble starts. Swept along by the crowd at the gun, new shoes, a short night, a water station skipped: by five kilometres the March humidity finishes the job. Dizziness, a tendon that gives way, an ankle caught in a pothole, all within reach of a dense crowd.
A 10K is never a one-off either. Between editions you stack up evening runs, hill repeats on the slopes above the city and a few races elsewhere. Year-round distance running insurance stays with you through all of it, so there is nothing new to arrange each time a start list opens.
A March fixture in Saint-Denis, La Dionysienne offers a 10K and a 5K to some 2,000 participants, from club runners chasing a time to families walking the shorter loop. It is a well-followed city race, held in the sticky heat of the late austral summer.
When one gun sends off seasoned athletes and complete beginners together, nobody should be uninsured. We cover all of your entrants through a single subscription. Our medical line answers day and night while the race is running, repatriation is included, and this holds anywhere in the world. Partnership is open too.
No. A certificate or health questionnaire only clears you to take part; it pays nothing. Personal accident insurance is what covers your treatment, your assistance and a capital sum if disability remains.
Yes. Every participant takes out their own cover, whatever distance they run. Just check the minimum age the organisers set for the 5K before you confirm the entry.
Yes. The guarantee does not stop at a border. It applies on the island, in mainland France and at races abroad, whatever your country of residence, in training as well as in competition.
No. This contract is not cancellation insurance. It refunds neither your bib nor your travel. Its purpose is bodily accident and the medical consequences that follow, during the race or in training.
It depends on how long you want to be covered, the discipline you declare and whether you add the Competition option. The AxeoSport online quote shows your figure in a few clicks, with no obligation.
