Swimming in a river is nothing like a lake start, with current and concrete banks pushing bodies together in the mass start. A blow to the face or a wrenched shoulder is common, and medical costs are covered up to €150,000, from first aid to hospital care and surgery.
Limburg climbs are short, cobbled in places and descended flat out between villages. After a crash, assistance and repatriation apply at actual cost, from evacuation at the scene of the accident to the trip back to your own front door.
This race often caps a year of olympic-distance and half-distance starts. The Competition option covers racing in official competition on the Dutch course and on every other number you take, at home and across the border.
Those linked ramps are descended on uneven surfaces, sometimes damp under tree cover. Leaving the road can cause lasting damage, and the permanent disability capital pays up to €200,000 depending on the assessed rate, to rebuild daily life around it.
Humid August air in the valley weighs on the second half of the bike leg, and repeated Limburg accelerations drain the quads long before the marathon. The narrow descents between hamlets are taken fast, often in a tight group. Dehydration and fading concentration then finish the job on tired riders.
For the rest of the year, preparation happens on open roads, in the pool and on the turbo, far from any race medical crew. Twelve-month triathlon insurance covers those sessions and follows you to your other events, from a local sprint to a start line in another country.
Scheduled in August, this Dutch long distance gathers roughly 2,000 starters over the full format. It combines an urban river swim in the Meuse, a rolling bike leg through southern Limburg and a flat marathon that brings athletes back into the centre of Maastricht.
You run three disciplines in a single day, with athletes arriving from several countries. We insure all your participants in one go, and medical assistance stays reachable day and night for the whole event. Repatriation is included. We can also be a partner of your event, anywhere in the world.
Yes. Where you swim makes no difference to the cover. Bodily injury during the Meuse section is covered, in the mass start as much as on the exit ramp towards the first transition.
The bodily consequences of a crash or collision in the Limburg hills, from emergency treatment through to surgery. Assistance then arranges your evacuation and the journey home from the Netherlands.
No. This is individual accident insurance, not cancellation insurance. It returns neither the entry nor the train nor the hotel. It responds to bodily injury suffered in training and in competition.
Yes. Cover applies at home and abroad, whatever your country of residence. Cross-border training rides and training camps in another country both fall inside the scope of the policy.
