April often follows a heavy winter of training, and legs can arrive in Newport already tired. Muscle tears, sprains and falls on a kerb edge end up in A&E. Medical costs up to €150,000 cover treatment, hospital stays and surgery resulting from the accident.
Reaching Newport from mainland Europe usually means flying into Cardiff, Bristol or London, then a drive or train. After a fracture, assistance and repatriation at actual cost handle evacuation from the course and your journey home, so you are not rebooking flights from a hospital bed.
The ABP Newport Wales Marathon is an official, timed race over both distances. The Competition option covers you on the day and at every other event in your season, from summer trail races to autumn halves. Your training sessions stay covered in the same way.
A heavy fall in a dense pack can leave lasting damage to a knee, hip or wrist. If the accident results in permanent disability, a disability capital of up to €200,000 is paid to help you adapt your home, your job and your daily routine.
April in South Wales brings cool mornings, wind off the estuary and the odd shower. 10K runners are often carried off too fast by the crowd, while marathoners discover the distance after a winter of training. It is late in the race, on heavy legs, that trips and falls tend to happen.
The April race is just one stop in your season. Injuries also happen on March long runs, in the rain or after dark. Marathon insurance that covers training and competition, at home or abroad, keeps you protected from one start line to the next, all year round.
The ABP Newport Wales Marathon takes place in April in Newport, South Wales, with a marathon and a 10K on the programme. Around 8,000 people take part, from first-time marathoners and Welsh clubs to runners travelling from England and mainland Europe.
Does your event bring together marathoners and 10K runners? We insure all your participants under one single policy, whatever distance they choose. Medical assistance is reachable day and night, 24/7, during the race, and repatriation is included. We can also become a partner or sponsor of your event.
Yes. Cover is attached to the participant, not the distance. On the 10K or the marathon, your medical costs, repatriation and disability capital apply in exactly the same way.
Yes, from the day you take out the policy. Cover applies in training and in competition, so your winter long runs and interval sessions are protected right up to the April start.
No. AxeoSport is not cancellation insurance, so it refunds neither your entry nor your tickets. If the injury comes from an accident, however, your medical costs are covered within the limits of the policy.
Yes. Cover applies in France and abroad, whatever your country of residence. Whether you travel from Belgium, Spain or Italy, you get the same guarantees on Welsh roads.
It depends on your profile, your activity and the options you choose, including the Competition option. The online quote shows the exact figure in a few minutes, before you commit.
