The old squares of Metz and the streets around the cathedral mix cobbles, flagstones and kerbs. October damp makes them treacherous in the opening kilometres. A fall on that surface often means a fracture, and your medical costs are covered through to recovery.
Part of the route follows the water, where no car can pull up beside you. If you collapse on a towpath section, assistance and repatriation cover the real cost of getting you to hospital and then back to your own home, even in another country.
Marathon, team relay or 10 km, you are on a timed and ranked start line in Metz. The Competition option covers this race and every other number you pin on during the season, from a December cross-country to the following spring half.
A head knocked against a kerb, or a break that never knits properly, can shape the rest of a working life. The permanent disability capital is paid according to the degree assessed and helps you rebuild your job and your daily routine around it.
Eight thousand entries mean a packed opening kilometre and a change of road surface every few hundred metres. Runners meeting the distance for the first time underestimate the cold morning air, dress too lightly and tense up, which invites cramp and muscle tears. Drinks stations placed on bends collect their share of twisted ankles too.
Marathon preparation runs four or five months, and that is where most of the damage happens. Stress fractures, an angry Achilles, a fall on an icy pavement in January: none of it occurs on the official course. Annual marathon insurance covers the whole build-up, every session included, not just one morning in October.
The Metz Mirabelle Marathon takes place each October in the Grand Est region, looping the historic centre and the banks of the Moselle. The relay lets teams split the distance, while the 10 km opens the morning to less experienced runners.
You run a marathon, a relay and a short race in a single day. We insure your participants under one policy, whatever format they pick. Medical assistance stays reachable day and night while the event is on, repatriation is included, and we can also come on board as a partner.
No, each leg runner takes out their own cover. This is individual accident insurance, so every teammate needs a personal policy to be protected on the section they run.
The guarantees work exactly as they do on race day. A stress fracture spotted in August or a fall on a long run falls under medical costs, and under the disability capital if damage remains.
No. This policy is not cancellation insurance. It responds to the bodily consequences of an accident, never to the entry fee, the train ticket or the hotel booked before the start.
Yes. Metz draws runners from across the nearby borders and your country of residence changes nothing. Treatment received in France is covered, and repatriation brings you back to your own address.
It depends on the formula, how long you want to be covered and whether the Competition option is added. The online quote shows your price in a few clicks, before you commit to anything.
