A city half means kerbs, drain covers and roundabouts taken in a crowd. One fall can mean a broken wrist or a cut that needs stitches. Your medical costs are covered up to €150,000, including treatment, hospital stays and surgery after an accident on the course or in training.
Plenty of runners reach Birmingham by train or plane, from elsewhere in Britain or from overseas. If an accident stops you travelling home as planned, assistance handles your repatriation at actual cost, from the place of the accident to your home, wherever that is.
The AJ Bell Great Birmingham Run is an official timed race. The Competition option covers you in official competition on race day, then in every race of your season, whether that is a local 10K or a marathon abroad later in the year.
Serious accidents are rare on the road, but they can leave a stiff knee, a weaker hand or a fragile back. If a permanent disability is recognised, a lump sum of up to €200,000 helps you adapt your home, your workplace or your car.
Early May weather in England is hard to call: a chilly start can turn mild within the hour, or break into showers. Runners who go off too fast, drink too little or bring a niggle left over from a heavy winter often get hurt in the second half. Constant turns on city roads also put ankles and knees under strain.
A half marathon takes months to prepare, on the track, on the road or along canal towpaths, and those sessions bring the same falls and sprains as race day. Our half marathon insurance covers training and competition, at home or abroad, whatever your country of residence.
A spring stop on the Great Run Series, the AJ Bell Great Birmingham Run brings a half marathon to Britain's second city. The urban course suits runners chasing a personal best as much as those who simply want to finish their first 21.1 km with a crowd cheering them on.
Many of your entrants will be running their first half marathon. We insure all your participants under one single policy, beginners and club runners alike. Medical assistance is reachable day and night, 24/7, during the race, and repatriation is included. We can also be a partner or sponsor of your event, anywhere in the world.
Yes. Beginners are often the most exposed, with pacing errors, late-race fatigue and fairly recent training. Personal accident insurance protects you through your preparation and on the day of the AJ Bell Great Birmingham Run.
No. It is not cancellation insurance, so your entry, train and hotel are not refunded. If the injury comes from an accident in training, though, your medical costs are covered within the limits of the policy.
Be ready for anything: a cold start, mild sunny spells or showers. A light throwaway layer for the start pen and a cap for rain or sun will save you a lot of discomfort over 21.1 km.
Yes. Cover applies at home and abroad, whatever your country of residence. A runner coming over from mainland Europe to race in Birmingham has the same cover as at home, in training and on race day.
No. It depends on your profile and the cover you choose, including the Competition option. The online quote gives you your price in a few minutes, with no commitment, so you can buy before race day.
