Gower's lanes are narrow, twisting and often damp, with short steep climbs followed by fast drops. A crash there can mean a broken collarbone, a broken wrist or worse. AxeoSport pays medical expenses up to €150,000, covering emergency care, hospital stays and surgery, whether you are treated in Wales or back home.
Most entrants travel to Swansea by car or plane with a bike box in tow, so an injury far from home quickly gets complicated. Assistance and repatriation are covered at actual cost: evacuation from the accident scene, then a medically suitable journey home, wherever you live.
A mass swim start and a busy bike course make race day the riskiest part of your year. The Competition option covers you in official competition, both at IRONMAN 70.3 Swansea and at every other official race on your calendar, so one policy follows you all season.
Some accidents do not heal cleanly. A serious knee, spine or shoulder injury can change how you work and live long after the finish line. The permanent disability benefit, up to €200,000, gives you a lump sum to adapt your home, your job and your daily routine.
July in Wales can bring sunshine, drizzle and a stiff headwind in the same morning. The water is cool enough that a wetsuit is the norm. Many athletes push too hard on the early Gower climbs, then fade badly on the run, when cramp, dehydration and lapses in concentration lead to falls.
Training carries its own risks: long spring rides on wet roads, open-water sessions with no lifeguard nearby, interval runs on busy pavements. Good triathlon insurance should cover those months of preparation as well as race day, at home and abroad, and that is how AxeoSport cover is built.
Part of the IRONMAN 70.3 series, the Swansea race pairs a coastal city with the hills of the Gower, the first area in Britain to be named an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It draws British and European athletes, many of them stepping up to middle distance.
Running a one-day triathlon means juggling three sports, two transitions and hundreds of athletes. We insure all your participants under a single policy. Our medical assistance team can be reached day and night throughout the event, and repatriation is included. We can also become a partner or sponsor of your race, anywhere in the world.
Yes. AxeoSport cover applies whatever your country of residence, in France and abroad. A British, Irish or Belgian triathlete racing in Swansea gets the same guarantees for both training and race day.
Yes. You are covered in training as well as in competition, so a course recce on the bike or a shakeout swim in the days before the event falls within your guarantees if you suffer an injury.
No. This is not cancellation insurance, so neither your entry nor your travel costs are refunded. AxeoSport covers bodily injury: medical expenses, assistance and repatriation, the Competition option and permanent disability.
You are covered exactly as on the swim or bike. Medical treatment for the accident is paid up to €150,000, and our assistance team arranges your transfer to hospital and your return home if needed.
The price depends on your profile and the options you choose, including Competition. Our online quote shows the exact figure in a few minutes, with no commitment, so you can decide before you confirm your entry.
