The scenery pulls your eyes off the road. You glance up at a monument, reach for your phone, and miss a kerb. Bulky costumes add their own falls. Medical costs are covered up to €150,000, including A&E, scans, hospital stays and surgery after an accident.
A fracture far from home changes everything: no easy train or flight with a leg in plaster. Assistance arranges your repatriation at actual cost, from the place of the accident to your home, with a medical escort whenever your condition requires one.
Whether you are raising money or chasing a personal best, the London Landmarks Half Marathon is an official timed race. The Competition option covers you on the day and at all your official races this season, so you are not shopping for new cover with every entry.
A bad fall on hard road can leave a shoulder, ankle or hand permanently weakened. If permanent disability is recognised, a lump sum of up to €200,000 is paid according to the assessed rate, to help fund changes at home, at work or in your daily routine.
The London Landmarks attracts a lot of first-time half marathoners, often driven more by a cause than by a training plan. Short build-ups, euphoric starts, hot costumes and tight turns in the narrow streets of the City all take their toll. April can also bring a chilly start, gusty wind and showers on slippery tarmac.
Running for a charity usually means months of training before the big day, and often the urge to keep going afterwards. Long runs, intervals, other official races: our half marathon insurance protects that running all year, in training and competition, at home and abroad, whatever your country of residence.
Run in spring between Westminster and the City, the London Landmarks Half Marathon takes around 20,000 participants past some of London's most famous monuments. Charity runners, costumes and big crowds make it a race people experience as much as they run.
Organising a one-day charity half? We insure all your participants with one single policy, whether they run for a cause or a time. Medical assistance is reachable day and night, seven days a week, during the event. Repatriation is included anywhere in the world, and we can also partner with or sponsor your race.
No. AxeoSport personal accident insurance is taken out in your own name, whatever route you used to get your place. Charity entry or direct entry, the protection is identical, on race day and in training.
Yes. Cover applies abroad as well as at home, whatever your country of residence. A Belgian, French or Dutch runner is protected in London during the race and on training runs during the stay.
No. This is not cancellation insurance, so race entry, train, flights and hotel are not reimbursed. Cover focuses on the accident itself: treatment, assistance, repatriation and a lump sum for permanent disability.
The same insurance follows you through your build-up and on the day. Training is covered from the moment you sign up, and the Competition option takes over for the official race, then for your other races this season.
The price depends on your profile and the cover you choose. An online quote gives you the exact figure in a few minutes, with or without the Competition option, before you decide anything.
