Relay changeover zones are crowded: runners arriving at speed, teammates jogging on the spot, everyone looking for a familiar face. Ankles roll and knees hit the tarmac. Medical costs up to €150,000 cover treatment, hospital stays and surgery resulting from the accident.
For runners from mainland Europe, Belfast usually means a flight or a ferry. After a fracture or serious injury, assistance and repatriation at actual cost arrange your evacuation from the course and your return home, in a way that suits your medical needs.
Even a single relay leg is part of an official race. The Competition option covers you on this marathon and across your whole racing season, from local 10Ks to autumn half marathons. Training sessions remain covered in exactly the same way.
A slip on a rain-soaked road can leave lasting damage to a knee, shoulder or back. If an accident leads to permanent disability, a disability capital of up to €200,000 helps you reorganise your daily life, your home and your work.
May in Belfast swings between sunshine and showers, often with a breeze off the lough. Relay runners, usually less trained than marathoners, attack a short leg flat out and then get hurt in the final stretch. Marathoners pay for a fast start among thousands of others, and tired legs stumble more on wet tarmac.
Race day is one date in your year. Sprains and falls also happen midweek, on a track, a towpath or a badly lit pavement. With marathon insurance that applies in training and competition, at home or abroad, you keep the same protection from January to December.
The Belfast City Marathon is held in May in the capital of Northern Ireland, run either as a full marathon or as a team relay. With around 15,000 participants, it brings together club runners, office teams, charity fundraisers and visitors from abroad.
Marathon runners and relay teams put in very different efforts, but we insure all your participants under one single policy. Medical assistance is reachable 24/7, day and night, throughout the event, and repatriation is included. We can also become a partner or sponsor of your race, anywhere in the world.
Yes. Personal accident insurance protects one person. Each relay runner takes out cover individually, which gives them medical costs, repatriation and the disability capital on their leg and in training.
Yes. Cover applies in France and abroad, whatever your country of residence. In Belfast you enjoy exactly the same guarantees as on your usual training runs back home.
This is not cancellation insurance, so your entry and travel are not refunded. However, if the injury came from an accident in training, your medical costs are covered within the limits of the policy.
Changeable conditions, with cloud, showers and wind. Bring a windproof layer for waiting at the start and shoes with good grip on wet roads, which reduces the risk of slipping on painted lines and drain covers.
The price depends on your profile, your activity and the options you choose, including the Competition option. The online quote shows you the exact figure in a few minutes, before you decide.
