Maltese roads are unforgiving and the long tilt towards the coast quietly speeds your stride up. A rolled ankle on a kerb or a wrist broken in a fall means X-rays within the hour. Your medical costs are covered up to €150,000, surgery and hospital stay included.
Malta covers barely 316 square kilometres, and getting home injured is not a matter of rebooking a seat. If an accident stops you between Mdina and Sliema, assistance and repatriation are covered at actual cost, from the roadside to your own front door.
Both the marathon and the half are run under a race number, with official timing and results. The Competition option covers racing in official events, in Malta and across the rest of your season, including the winter long runs that got you ready.
A heavy landing on asphalt, a clash of elbows in the opening kilometre or a badly absorbed impact can leave permanent consequences. The permanent disability benefit reaches €200,000, money that helps you rebuild work and daily life after the accident.
A mild start is deceptive. Runners set off in a jacket and finish fully exposed along the water, drinking less than they need, concentration already gone. Add kerbs, roundabouts and a broadly downhill profile that hammers the quadriceps, and most falls and dizzy spells land after thirty kilometres.
A marathon is built over months, and your winter long runs matter as much as the finish line. AxeoSport personal accident insurance stays valid all year, in training and in competition, at home and abroad. See exactly what our marathon insurance covers across a full season.
A deep winter road race, the Malta Marathon links the island's old fortified capital to the Sliema waterfront. Around 4,000 runners line up each February for the marathon or the half, in mild temperatures and a sea breeze that rarely sits still.
You run a marathon and a half on the same morning. A single policy insures every one of your runners. Our medical assistance line answers day and night while your event is on, repatriation is included, anywhere in the world. We can also come on board as a partner of your race.
Yes. Cover applies whatever your country of residence and wherever you race. You are insured in Malta exactly as you are at home, on training runs and on race morning alike.
Yes. Both distances fall under the same personal accident insurance. The only difference is the Competition option, which you add if you race under an official number and want cover across your whole season.
No. AxeoSport is personal accident insurance, not cancellation insurance. We cover the bodily consequences of an accident, never your entry fee, your flights to the island or your hotel nights.
The same guarantees apply outside competition. A fall on a training run opens the way to medical cost cover and, where needed, to assistance and transport back to your home address, in your own country or abroad.
The price depends on the formula you choose and on whether you insure a single race or a full year. The online quote gives you an exact figure in a couple of minutes, with no commitment.
