September often means a return to racing after a patchy summer, with legs less ready than you think. An ankle that turns, a fall at a drinks station, a knee knocked in a field of 20,000. Medical costs are covered up to €150,000, including A&E, hospital care and surgery.
The race finishes in Greenwich, a long way from where many visitors stay and much further still from home. If you are injured, you are not left to sort it out alone. Assistance and repatriation are paid at actual cost, from the place of the accident to your own home.
The Big Half is an official timed race. The Competition option covers your participation on the day and every official race of your season, from winter cross country to a spring marathon. One option, valid for all your official events, at home and abroad.
Some injuries never fully heal: knee ligaments, a joint fracture, a back trauma. If the accident leaves you with a permanent disability, a lump sum of up to €200,000 is paid according to the recognised rate, to help you adapt your daily and working life.
After summer, many arrive with training broken up by holidays and an appetite for a fast time that has not faded. That mix is risky: an over-ambitious start, cramp in the final third, less secure footing as fatigue builds. The Tower Bridge crossing, the surges and a dense field all add chances to fall on the road to Greenwich.
The Big Half often opens a busy autumn: more halves, 10ks, the first block of a spring marathon plan. Our half marathon insurance covers each step, in training and in competition, at home and abroad, whatever your country of residence. One form of protection for your whole running year.
Organised by the London Marathon team, The Big Half is a point-to-point half marathon linking Tower Bridge and Greenwich through the east of the city. Around 20,000 runners take part, from beginners to club runners using it to kick off their autumn.
Does your point-to-point half marathon bring thousands of runners together? We insure all your participants under one single policy. Medical assistance is reachable day and night, seven days a week, for the whole event. Repatriation is included, anywhere in the world. We can also become a partner or sponsor of your race.
Yes, as long as both races fall within the same cover period. The Competition option applies to all your official races of the season, not only The Big Half. Simply check the validity dates shown on your policy.
No. This is not cancellation insurance: your entry and travel costs stay with you. AxeoSport steps in after an accidental injury, with medical costs, assistance, repatriation and a lump sum in case of permanent disability.
Yes. Cover applies to training as well as racing, at home and abroad. An easy jog the day before or a recce near Tower Bridge is handled under the same terms as race day itself.
Assistance is reachable at any time. It arranges your evacuation from the place of the accident, follows your medical care and, once you are fit to travel, organises your journey home at actual cost.
The price depends on your profile and the cover you choose, notably the Competition option. The online quote shows you the exact figure in a few minutes, with no obligation, before you take anything out.
