Months of winter training, then a mild March morning, and the Achilles tendon gives way without warning. A rupture ends in theatre. Medical expenses cover pays for the scans, the operation and the hospital stay that follows.
Plenty of entrants travel in for the weekend. If an accident leaves you stuck in a local hospital, assistance and repatriation at actual cost handle the evacuation and the journey back to your own address, in France or abroad.
Over the half or the full distance your time is official, and many runners use it to chase a qualifying standard. The Competition option covers official racing, here and at every other event on your calendar.
A fall at full stride on city tarmac can damage a knee or a hip and leave limits that never go away. The permanent disability capital is then paid out, so you can adapt your home, your job and your income.
March catches everyone out. You have trained in the cold, then you start under a clear sky and your body cannot keep up, so dehydration, cramp and dizziness arrive by halfway. Flat roads push the early pace too hard, and the sea wind across the plain adds resistance nobody planned for.
One race is not a season. Sunday long runs, threshold sessions and the other bibs in your year account for most injuries, often far from help. Annual marathon insurance follows your training and your races, in France and abroad, whatever country you live in, on road or on track.
A city marathon on a manageable scale, held in March as the Mediterranean starts to warm, with a half and a 10 km that open the day to occasional runners. Here is what you want to know before entering.
One day, several distances, thousands of bibs to look after. We insure every participant with individual accident cover under a single subscription. Medical assistance stays reachable day and night through the event, repatriation is included, and we can also be a partner of your race.
Yes. All three distances carry the same individual accident cover, from the start until you are home. Choosing a shorter race changes nothing about medical expenses or assistance.
A bodily accident during the race opens cover for treatment and transport. Medical assistance points you to hospital care and, when needed, arranges the journey back to your home address.
No. This is not cancellation insurance and it refunds neither the entry nor the travel. It pays for the bodily consequences of an accident, treatment, transport and any lasting damage.
Yes. It covers official competition, on this marathon and at the races you run later in the season, training included, so you stay covered from one bib to the next.
It depends on the formula and the period you choose, a single race or a full year. The online quote returns your exact price after a few questions, with no commitment.
