The route leaves tarmac again and again for earth tracks between the vines, full of ruts, loose stones and roots. One ankle rolls and your race stops there. Your medical costs cover emergency treatment, immobilisation and the rehabilitation that follows.
Between two villages, help has to come up narrow tracks where no car passes easily. Assistance and repatriation cover the real cost of lifting you out of the vines and of the journey back to your own home, including from abroad.
The atmosphere is a party, but the bib is official, with chip times and rankings over all three distances. The Competition option covers this marathon and your whole season, from spring trail races to autumn road 10 km events.
The Alsace slopes string together short sharp climbs and cambered descents, exactly where June fatigue costs you your line. When a fall leaves permanent damage, the permanent disability capital is paid on the assessed degree and funds the changes you need.
The Alsace vineyard marathon is run in June, often under a strong sun, with generous feed stations and an atmosphere that makes you forget your watch. Many set off too fast, drink too little, grind up the climbs and roll an ankle on a dirt descent. Add the tight packs squeezing through village lanes.
A vineyard marathon is built on months of hills, tracks and long runs over uneven ground. That is when sprains and stress fractures happen, far from any medical post. An annual marathon insurance policy follows you through all of it, at home in France and on races abroad.
The Marathon du Vignoble d'Alsace starts in Molsheim in June and winds through wine villages on a rolling course that is half road, half track. The half marathon and the 10 km share the same costumed atmosphere, with around eight thousand runners in total.
You put on a race over several distances with entertainment all along the course. We insure your participants under one policy. Medical assistance stays reachable day and night while runners are out, repatriation is included, and we can also come in as a partner of your event.
Yes. Cover makes no distinction between tarmac and track. A fall on an earth path between the rows comes under the same guarantees as an accident on a village street.
Because the ground stays demanding. Eight hundred metres of rutted track is enough for a serious sprain, and help takes time to reach you between two plots. A good mood does not lower the physical risk.
No. This is not cancellation insurance. It covers the bodily consequences of an accident, never the entry fee, the accommodation or the travel to Alsace booked months earlier.
Yes. All three distances are treated identically, vine tracks included. Your cover depends on being registered for the event rather than on the format printed on your bib.
It depends on the formula, the length of cover you want and whether the Competition option is added. The online quote shows your price in a few minutes, with no commitment at all.
