What a visiting runner should settle before the start line

icon Frais médicaux

Twisted ankles on wet vineyard tracks, up to €150,000 in care

November rain softens the vineyard paths, a root catches a tired foot and the ankle folds. Between the parcels, an ambulance needs time to reach you. Medical expenses cover pays for imaging, surgery and the hospital stay that follows.

icon Transport et rapatriement

Lifted out from between the vine rows, far from tarmac

The route threads narrow lanes between wine villages, sometimes a long way from the nearest aid post. If you have to be moved, assistance and repatriation at actual cost arrange the transfer and bring you home afterwards.

icon Option compétition

Chasing a time on the marathon, not only the party

Some start for the atmosphere, others want an official marathon result. As soon as your bib places you in a ranking, the Competition option covers racing itself, on this event and across your whole season.

icon Capital invalidité

Lasting damage from a late fall, up to €200,000

The final kilometres into Villefranche are run on empty legs, and a fall on cold tarmac can leave permanent damage. The permanent disability capital is then paid to you, to adapt your home, your work and your income.

Does a party atmosphere make the distance any safer?

Good humour hides the effort. A costume that chafes, a rushed drink station and vineyard soil churned into mud send most runners into trouble after thirty kilometres. The November evening closes in on the slower starters, temperatures drop, muscles stiffen and footing gets worse with every kilometre.

Beaujolais is one date in a long year. Winter long runs, spring halves and track sessions all carry their own risks, usually with nobody nearby. Annual marathon insurance covers training and racing alike, in France and abroad, whatever country you live in, with the same medical expenses and assistance behind you.
