icon Frais médicaux

€150,000 towards your medical treatment

Why insurance for the IRONMAN African Championship ?

Racing a continental championship on the other side of the world multiplies the unknowns: a sea that can rise within hours, a coastal wind that turns the bike leg into a balancing act, and a body straight out of the European winter suddenly pushed to maximum effort.

To approach this faraway trip with a clear head, rely on our long distance triathlon insurance, which also follows you through the winter build and your test races.
