icon Frais médicaux

Cold salt water, €150,000 of treatment behind you

The Øresund stays cold in June and a short chop makes breathing awkward from the first buoy. Cold-water shock or inhaled sea water usually ends in hospital observation and tests. Your medical costs are covered up to €150,000, including the scans.

icon Transport et rapatriement

Pick-up on an exposed coast road, at actual cost

North Zealand roads run beside open water, where a side gust can unsettle a loaded race bike in a second. Assistance and repatriation are covered at actual cost, from the first ambulance on the coast road to the door of your own home.

icon Option compétition

Line up in official competition with no grey area

A 70.3 is raced against the clock, with age-group results published afterwards. A policy written for recreational sport will not follow you onto a start line like this one. The Competition option covers official competition, here and through your whole season.

icon Capital invalidité

Disability capital of €200,000 after a hard crash

A fall on tarmac slick with sea spray can leave a wrist or a hip permanently restricted. The permanent disability capital reaches €200,000, which pays for long rehabilitation and softens the loss of income that follows a serious injury.

Open roads, cold sea, cover that does not flinch

Two things catch entrants out here. The first is temperature: a cold salt-water start pushes the heart rate up and sends swimmers to the buoys for a pause, sometimes out of the race. The second is wind, which crosses open coast roads without any shelter and surprises anyone riding deep-section wheels. Tiredness does the rest on the run.

A half distance is built through winter, on wet roads and in cold pools, long before June arrives. Year-round triathlon insurance covers those training hours as fully as race day, in Denmark and anywhere else you travel to ride, swim and run, whatever your country of residence.
