In March the legs stay cold for the first few kilometres, and a torn calf or a fall on wet paving happens fast in a packed field. Medical costs up to €150,000 pay for consultations, imaging, surgery and hospital care.
A runner pulled out at 15 km rarely makes the planned journey back, especially one who flew in for the weekend. Assistance and repatriation at actual cost arrange the evacuation from the course and the trip home, wherever that is.
Chip timing, start pens and a published finish list make this official competition, the exact situation many policies exclude. The Competition option covers this bib and every other start of your year, from winter cross country to a summer 10 km.
In a field of 12,000 a pile-up can cause a serious trauma with consequences that do not fade. The permanent disability capital of up to €200,000 steps in when the accident leaves lasting damage, giving you room to rethink work and housing.
A flat course tempts everyone to go out hard, and the second lap sends the bill: empty legs, a collapsing stride, kerbs and barriers brushed in the narrow sections. Add a few degrees above zero, a headwind on the open stretches and fingers too cold to open a gel.
March sits right at the start of the season, after a winter of frozen pavements and hill reps, and that is where most injuries actually happen. Taking out half marathon insurance for the year keeps every training run and every race covered, at home and abroad.
A spring half marathon run over two laps through a World Heritage city, with crowds packed along the pavements and a reputation for fast times. One distance, 21.1 km, and entries that open early in the running year.
Your race runs a city circuit in a single day, with several thousand bibs and two passes in front of the same crowd. We insure all your participants through one sign-up. Our medical assistance line is reachable day and night during the event, repatriation is included, and we can be a partner of your race.
No. The number of laps is irrelevant. You are covered across the whole 21.1 km, on the first pass and the second, exactly as on any other course.
Yes. The contract applies whatever your country of residence and whatever the country of the race. Your training at home and your English bib fall under the same personal accident cover.
No, not the entry fee. This is personal accident insurance rather than cancellation insurance. It pays for your care and your assistance after a bodily accident, not for your bib or your travel.
The guarantees run all year. A fall on black ice in January or a torn hamstring in a threshold session opens the same rights to medical costs and assistance as an accident on race day.
It depends on the formula you choose, the length of cover and the Competition option. The AxeoSport online quote shows your price within a couple of minutes and commits you to nothing.
