Wet cobbles, autumn wind, four guarantees that hold

icon Frais médicaux

An ankle gone on a wet cobble, €150,000 of treatment

Brussels cobbles turn slick in October rain, and ankles go over fast when fifteen thousand runners are packed shoulder to shoulder. A bad sprain, a stress fracture, stitches after a fall: your medical costs are covered up to €150,000, hospital stay included.

icon Transport et rapatriement

Lifted off the course and taken home afterwards

A large share of the field flies in for the weekend and flies out on Monday. If a knee gives up at thirty kilometres, someone has to arrange transport and then the trip home. Assistance and repatriation are covered at actual cost, wherever you live.

icon Option compétition

Half or full, your chip-timed start is insured

Half marathon or the full 42.195 kilometres, you run with a chip and a target time, and that counts as official competition rather than casual exercise. The Competition option covers your start here and every other road race in your season.

icon Capital invalidité

After a pile-up in the pack: €200,000 in capital

A crowded start, a sudden slowdown, runners going down together, and the head or the spine takes the impact. Some damage never fully clears. The permanent disability capital runs to €200,000, which pays for adapting your home and your working life.

Where an autumn city marathon catches runners out

You train for this one through a warm summer and then race it at nine degrees in a wet wind. Runners dress too lightly, skip a feed station, then push on a calf that was already tight. Add cobbles, tram rails, kerbs and constantly changing surfaces, and a fall stops being bad luck.

Race day is the tip of a six-month pyramid: track sessions, Sunday long runs, tune-up half marathons in other countries. Annual marathon insurance covers that whole cycle rather than one morning in October, and it travels with you wherever the training takes place, in any season.

FAQ

Questions runners ask before heading to Brussels

Yes. The cover applies whatever your country of residence, and a bodily accident during the race or your training is treated the same way. No separate local policy is needed for a start abroad.

No. It is personal accident insurance, not cancellation insurance. It handles the bodily consequences of an accident only, never your entry fee, your flight or your hotel for the weekend.

Yes. Both are timed and ranked, so both are official competition. The Competition option covers whichever start you take, along with the other road races you run during the season.

It steps in after a bodily accident: medical costs for treatment and hospital, assistance and repatriation if you cannot get home unaided, and a disability capital when consequences turn out to be permanent.

That depends on the formula you choose and on whether you insure the single race or the whole year. The AxeoSport online quote gives you the exact price in a couple of minutes.
