A night-time fall on the way down Snowdon

After many hours on the go, the rocky descent from Snowdon is often done by head torch on empty legs. An ankle that gives way or a fall on stone happens fast. Medical costs up to €150,000 pay for treatment, hospital stays and surgery after the accident.

icon Transport et rapatriement

Mountain rescue, hospital, then the trip home

High on the course, far from the road, an injury may require evacuation before any transfer to hospital. Assistance and repatriation at actual cost then takes care of getting you home, whether you travelled from England, France or the other side of the world.

icon Option compétition

Double or triple, the Competition option lasts as long as you do

On the double and triple, racing goes on for well over a day, through daylight and darkness. The Competition option covers the whole official event, from the swim start to the finish, plus the races and training of the rest of your season.

icon Capital invalidité

Exhaustion, lasting injury and up to €200,000

When clear thinking fades in the middle of the night, a crash on a Welsh descent can leave lasting damage to a knee, back or shoulder. The permanent disability capital, up to €200,000, is paid according to the assessed rate to help you get back on your feet.

No sleep, one summit, a body on empty: the real risks here

On The Brutal Triathlon, time itself is the enemy. Sleep deprivation dulls reflexes, eating becomes a struggle, and Welsh September weather can swing from sunshine to cold rain within the hour. Wet descents on the bike, then Snowdon's paths by head torch, are where most falls happen.

Nobody starts a double or triple without months of volume: rides lasting many hours, long open-water swims, back-to-back weekend sessions. Our triathlon insurance covers that preparation as well as the race, anywhere in the world, and stays valid all year whatever your country of residence.
