Three hours in, form falls apart and the seafront offers nowhere to hide. Hyponatraemia, wind chill, a trip on the kerb, these are the standard late-marathon call-outs. Medical costs are covered up to €150,000, from the first scan to surgery and the nights in a ward.
You flew in for the weekend and the return flight is already booked. If an injury keeps you in a British hospital, assistance and repatriation handle the evacuation and the journey home at real cost, whichever country you came from.
Both the marathon and the 10 km are chipped, ranked and sometimes used as qualifiers. That phrase, official competition, is where many policies walk away. The Competition option covers your April bib and every race you enter for the rest of the season.
A marathon tests more than legs. Cardiac events, head injuries after a fall, nerve damage that settles in for good. If the accident results in permanent disability, a capital sum of up to €200,000 is paid directly to the insured runner.
April on the Channel means around ten degrees at the start, less once the wind gets up, and rain that arrives without notice. Runners dress for sunshine, go out hard on the early kilometres, then meet long exposed straights by the water where there is nothing to shelter behind. That is where bodies give in.
A marathon is won or lost in the four months before it. February long runs, threshold sessions and thirty kilometre Sundays account for almost all the hours spent running. Our marathon insurance covers training and racing alike, in the United Kingdom and anywhere else, all year round.
The Brighton Marathon is run each April on the south coast of England, with a 10 km alongside it. Around 15,000 runners cross the town before reaching the water, in a seaside resort atmosphere and a wind that rarely takes the day off.
A marathon with a shorter race attached puts a lot of people on the road at once. One subscription insures all of your participants. Medical assistance stays reachable day and night while the event runs, repatriation is included, anywhere in the world. We can also come on board as a partner of your marathon.
Yes. Both races sit under the same contract with the same level of guarantees. You also stay insured through the training block that gets you to the start line.
Yes. The contract applies abroad exactly as it does at home and does not depend on your country of residence. Treatment received in Britain falls under the same guarantees.
No. This is individual accident insurance, not cancellation cover. The entry, the train and the hotel are not reimbursed. Only bodily injury suffered while training or racing is covered.
Knee and Achilles tendon problems, muscle tears in the second half, and collapses linked to cold or mismanaged hydration. A headwind along the water deepens the fatigue and blurs the judgement that keeps runners safe.
It depends on the length of cover, the sport you declare and whether the Competition option is added. The online quote gives your premium before you sign anything or share a card.
