Climb onto the moors with your medical bills already accounted for

Wet descent off the moors? Treatment covered up to €150,000

The roads up to the West Pennine Moors are steep, and the descents are often slick after a June shower. A slide on a bend can mean a fractured wrist, hip or collarbone. Your medical expenses are covered up to €150,000, including A&E, hospital care and surgery.

icon Transport et rapatriement

Getting home from the North West without lifting a finger

Bolton is easy to reach via Manchester, but a serious accident makes travelling home on your own impossible. Assistance and repatriation at actual cost cover evacuation from the scene, transfer to a suitable hospital if needed and your journey back home, arranged around your condition.

icon Option compétition

Official race day intensity, covered by the Competition option

Race day changes everything: crowded swim starts, hard efforts on the climbs and accumulated fatigue on the run. The Competition option covers you in official competition at IRONMAN 70.3 Bolton and at every other official event on your season calendar, with no new policy to take out.

icon Capital invalidité

Bolton's hilly bike course, €200,000 for lasting disability

A heavy fall on a fast descent can cause lasting harm to a knee, the spine or the neck. The permanent disability benefit, up to €200,000, gives you the means to rebuild: adapting your home, changing your workstation or starting a new chapter.

What catches athletes out on the roads around Bolton

June in the North West can be mild one day and properly wet the next. The water stays cool, wetsuits are standard and the bike course stacks up climbs that sap the legs before the half marathon. Classic mistakes include starting too fast, under-fuelling and braking too late on wet tarmac.

The same dangers turn up in training: rides in the rain, lake swims, interval sessions on the road. Year-round triathlon insurance that covers training and racing in any country means you are not buying a new policy before every event, or wondering which sessions are actually covered.
