An urban circuit stacks kerbs, speed humps and roundabouts, and a late-November shower leaves the road paint slick. A broken wrist or a cracked collarbone means scans, theatre time and weeks of physio. Medical costs are covered up to €150,000.
Plenty of entrants fly out within days, some of them back to mainland France and some much further. A cast and an airport transfer are not things you arrange alone after an accident. Assistance and repatriation are covered at actual cost.
Late November closes one season for some and opens the next for others, number after number. The Competition option guarantees official racing on this triathlon and on every event you enter during the year, here or anywhere else.
A shoulder, a knee or a back can come out of a collision with street furniture permanently weaker. For anyone who works for a living, that is income at stake. The permanent disability capital reaches €200,000.
Short course is flat out from the first stroke to the final kilometre, with no quiet stretch in which to fix a mistake. The tail of the wet season leaves puddles, leaves and sand across the tarmac, and the accelerations out of tight corners cause the silliest falls of the day. Humidity drains people faster than they expect.
The rest of the year you climb the Grands Fonds hills, swim in the sea and run at first light to dodge the heat. Annual triathlon insurance follows those sessions as closely as it follows your race numbers, in France and abroad, whatever country you live in.
Les Abymes borders Pointe-à-Pitre and holds a large share of Guadeloupe's population, split between built-up districts and the Grands Fonds hills. The triathlon offers short formats to a field of roughly two hundred. Here is what to note before entering.
A short-format urban triathlon means quick starts and tight passing points. We insure all your entrants through one subscription. On race day our medical assistance is reachable day and night, and repatriation is included. We can also come in as a partner of your triathlon.
No. The guarantee applies on race day and across the training weeks before it. Single-event cover holds for that date, while annual cover holds for your whole season of racing.
Yes. A bodily accident during the activity is guaranteed, urban courses included. Medical costs and assistance work the same way as they would on a quiet coastal road.
No. This is individual accident insurance, not cancellation insurance. Entry fees and travel stay on you. What the contract answers for is the bodily consequences of an accident.
Proximity to an emergency department settles neither follow-up treatment, nor physiotherapy, nor the journey back to where you live. The guarantee carries those costs, and pays capital if disability turns out to be permanent.
Price follows the formula and the length of cover you choose. The AxeoSport online quote gives your figure in minutes, with no commitment, whether you cover this triathlon alone or the full year.
