The marsh roads are flat and completely open, so a crosswind can shove a bike off its line at speed. A pelvis fracture or a wrecked shoulder means surgery and days away from work. Your medical costs are covered up to €150,000, from the first ambulance to hospital rehabilitation.
Out in the salt marshes there is one road in and the nearest trauma unit sits further inland again. Assistance and repatriation are covered at actual cost, covering the lift from the roadside and the journey home, in France or anywhere else you race.
La Baule is raced with timing chips, wave starts and category results, and many entrants race several times a year. The Competition option covers racing under official rules, on this weekend and across your whole season.
A bike crash can leave a painful hip or a hand that has lost its grip, and plenty of jobs depend on both. The permanent disability benefit pays up to €200,000, calculated from the level of impairment confirmed once your recovery has plateaued.
A sheltered bay looks easy until the Atlantic swell pushes the field sideways and the buoys disappear behind a shoulder. On the bike, flat does not mean fast, because a headwind off the ocean empties the legs just as reliably as a climb. The run on hot tarmac finishes the job.
This one September morning sits at the end of eleven months of training. Pool sets, turbo sessions, long rides, regional races and beach intervals all add up, and that is where most injuries happen. A personal triathlon insurance policy stays with you all year, across swim, bike and run, at home and abroad.
Run in partnership with a leading French business school, the Triathlon Audencia La Baule has become a September classic, with around 4,000 entries across three distances. A sheltered bay, open marsh roads and a seafront finish explain its pull.
You welcome several thousand triathletes over three distances. We insure your participants with a single subscription, with no separate paperwork for each one. Medical assistance is reachable day and night while the race is on, and repatriation is included. We can also partner your triathlon.
No. Bodily injury during the swim is covered whatever the current. If the safety boats take you in, assistance starts from that first intervention and medical costs follow.
Yes. Your country of residence makes no difference. You are covered on the course and repatriation to your home address is handled at actual cost, whichever country that is.
No. This policy is not cancellation cover. It handles the bodily consequences of an accident, not your entry, not your accommodation on the coast, not your travel.
It confirms cover for racing under official rules, with rankings and officials, at any of the distances. It applies here and at the other events you enter during the same season.
By the formula you choose and by how long you want cover, a single race or a full year. The AxeoSport online quote gives the exact figure with no commitment.
