Provençal lanes are narrow, dry and edged with stone walls, and one gravel patch in a fast bend is enough to put you down. Broken collarbone, deep grazes, a scan at the hospital in Aix: your medical costs are covered up to €150,000.
Crash on a quiet ridge road and the nearest ambulance is villages away, while your own home may be in another country. Assistance and repatriation are covered at actual cost, from the roadside to your own front door.
A 70.3 is an official race, and many standard policies stop exactly there. The Competition option covers racing itself, on this half distance in May and on every other triathlon, open water swim and sportive you enter during the year.
Hitting the tarmac at speed on a long Provençal descent can leave damage that never fully heals. The permanent disability capital reaches €200,000, money you can put toward adapting your home, your car and your working life.
Aix punishes the descents, not the climbs. Riders hold on uphill, relax on the way down, then meet a tight corner with gravel washed across it. Add the wind that shoves a front wheel sideways, May heat that empties your legs, and a half marathon run on paved streets where tired ankles roll.
One race day is a small part of your year. Most injuries happen on winter turbo sessions, early season sportives and long Sunday rides far from any finish arch. Year round triathlon insurance follows you through all three disciplines, in training and in racing, whatever country you ride in.
This 70.3 sends triathletes out of Aix-en-Provence into the dry hills behind the city, with a lake swim, a demanding bike leg on Provençal roads and a half marathon that finishes in town. Around 2,500 athletes take part each May.
You run a one day race with three disciplines back to back. We insure every entrant through a single sign up. Our medical assistance line is reachable day and night while you race, and repatriation is included. We can also be a partner of your triathlon, anywhere in the world.
Yes. All three legs sit under the same bodily accident cover, from the open water swim to the final kilometres of the half marathon, in training sessions as much as on race day.
Cover applies to bodily injury. If overheating leads to a fall, a twisted ankle or a crash on the bike, treatment and repatriation apply. Heat on its own is not an injury, the consequences of an accident are.
No. This is personal accident insurance, not cancellation cover. It pays for the medical consequences of an accident, never your race entry, flights or hotel if you decide not to travel.
Yes. The contract applies whatever your country of residence and wherever the race takes place, and repatriation brings you back to your own home rather than just the nearest hospital.
It depends on the option you pick and whether you insure the single race or the full season. The online quote gives you your own price in a couple of minutes, with no commitment.
