Run the Rhine embankments with four guarantees in place

icon Frais médicaux

Up to €150,000 of care after a fall on city tarmac

A completely flat 42 km hammers the same tendons for hours on end. Shin splints, a stress fracture or an ankle turned on a kerb all end up in a German emergency room. Your medical costs are covered up to €150,000, imaging, surgery and follow-up included.

icon Transport et rapatriement

Assistance gets you home, not just off the course

Relay teams travel in from across Europe for a single weekend. A broken collarbone on Sunday morning makes the evening flight impossible. Assistance and repatriation are paid at actual cost, from the kilometre marker where you went down to your own front door.

icon Option compétition

The Competition option covers your relay leg as well

A Düsseldorf bib puts you in an official, chip-timed race where the opening kilometres go out fast in a packed field. The Competition option guarantees competitive running, over the full marathon or a single relay section, and across the rest of your road season.

icon Capital invalidité

€200,000 when the damage turns out to be permanent

A collision near a drinks station or a clash with course furniture can leave lasting damage to a knee or a shoulder. The permanent disability capital reaches €200,000 and gives you room to rearrange work and daily life afterwards.

Is a flat marathon really kinder to your legs?

Flat racing is unforgiving. Nothing in the terrain forces you to change pace, so runners go out hard on the wide avenues of the centre and pay for it after 30 km. An April shower off the Rhine cools muscles within minutes, and cold muscles tear. Relay runners stand waiting in the wind before sprinting into their leg.

A marathon is eleven months of preparation, and most injuries happen long before the start line: a long run on wet pavement, a hill session, a stumble in the dark. AxeoSport cover applies all year, at home and abroad, whatever your country of residence. See our marathon insurance for training and racing alike.

Key numbers behind the Rhine marathon weekend

The Düsseldorf Marathon runs in April on a flat city route linking the old town with the Rhine embankments. Entrants take on the full 42 km or share it as a relay team, which makes the field a mix of personal-best hunters and company squads.

  • Location: Düsseldorf, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany
  • Next edition: next edition to be confirmed
  • Format: marathon and team relay
  • Participants: around 15,000 entrants
  • Conditions: cool Rhineland spring, flat city roads, rain likely

FAQ

What Düsseldorf runners ask before race day

Yes. Every member of a relay team is insured in their own right, on their leg and in the hand-over zone, on exactly the same terms as a runner entered for the full distance.

Yes. Cover applies whatever your country of residence. If you are hurt in Germany, assistance arranges treatment on the spot and then your journey home, paid at actual cost.

No. This is individual accident insurance, not cancellation insurance. Bibs, flights and hotels stay your own cost. What it covers is the bodily consequences of an accident before, during or after the race.

Training sits inside the contract just as racing does, whether that means a long run along a river path, a track session or an icy early-morning loop. Medical costs and assistance apply all year round.

Price depends on the formula you pick and how long you want to be covered. The AxeoSport online quote shows your figure in a couple of minutes, with or without the Competition option.
