A flowing course pushes average speeds up, and a crash at those speeds does real damage: collarbones, wrists, road rash. Your medical costs are covered up to €150,000, from the hospital in Klagenfurt through to surgery if it is needed.
The swim takes place in open water, out from the bank, in the middle of thousands of arms. A blackout or a hard knock means getting you out of the lake, then moving you on. Assistance and repatriation are covered at real cost, home included if your state requires it.
You are ranked, timed and sometimes chasing a slot, which is competition in the full sense. The Competition option covers official racing on this long distance and across the rest of your year, from short-course races to your training rides.
After ten hours of effort, a fall in the final kilometres or an impact on the bike can leave consequences you do not shake off. A permanent disability capital of up to €200,000 is then paid, so you can adjust your job and your home.
Speed is where the trouble starts here. You settle into a rhythm over 180 km, ride close to other athletes, and one lapse puts you on the ground. Add lake water that is still cool at the start, a marathon run in full June heat and a day that lasts ten to fourteen hours, and fatigue ends up making decisions for you.
Long-distance triathlon is decided in the months of preparation: big bike rides, open-water sessions, brick training. That is when most accidents happen. Our triathlon insurance covers you all year, in training and in competition, in Austria and anywhere else you line up, whatever country you happen to live in.
This Austrian race sits in June on the shores of the Wörthersee and strings together a 3.8 km swim, 180 km on the bike and a 42.2 km marathon. Around 3,000 triathletes take it on, drawn by a course with a reputation for speed. The next date is still to be confirmed.
One day, three disciplines back to back, thousands of entries to look after. We insure all your participants with a single sign-up. While the race is on, our medical assistance line is reachable day and night, and repatriation is included. We can also be a partner of your triathlon, anywhere in the world.
Yes. All three disciplines are covered, the lake swim included, from the start in the Wörthersee to the finish line, as well as the course recon sessions you do on site.
The race normally takes place in June, but the next edition is to be confirmed. Check the official calendar before booking flights, and take out your cover as soon as your entry is confirmed.
No. This is personal accident insurance, not cancellation insurance, so neither the entry nor the trip is refunded. What is covered is the treatment that follows a bodily accident.
You sign up online before you leave, and the cover applies whatever country you live in. It holds in Austria and during your training at home, with repatriation paid at real cost.
The price depends on the formula, the length of cover and whether you add the Competition option, which matters on a ranked race. The online quote returns an exact figure in a few minutes.
