One downpour can turn the course into a mud bath, and the same roots you cleared on lap one catch tired arms on lap twenty. Shoulders, wrists and ribs take the hits. Medical costs up to €150,000 pay for treatment, hospital care and surgery after an accident.
At night you ride alone in the beam of your light, just when concentration fades and the trees all look the same. If an accident stops you, assistance and repatriation at actual cost organise your evacuation from the course and your return home, whether that's Bristol, Lille or anywhere else.
Mountain Mayhem is a proper race, with solo and team rankings. The Competition option covers you in official competition at the event and then all season long, from endurance races to cross-country rounds, all under one policy.
After a night without sleep, reactions slow down and a fall can mean a blow to the head or back. The permanent disability benefit of up to €200,000 is paid if the accident leaves permanent impairment, to help adapt your home or make up for lost income.
Solo riders often start too fast and pay for it around midnight. Team riders do hard laps followed by long, cold waits without eating properly. Half-charged lights, tyres that can't cope with mud and sheer lack of sleep do the rest, especially on technical sections in the small hours.
A 24-hour race takes months of preparation, from long rides to cross-country sessions and night laps. The right mountain bike insurance protects you through all of it, in training and racing, at home or abroad, whatever your country of residence. It won't refund your entry or your travel, but it covers you.
A 24-hour mountain bike endurance race, Mountain Mayhem takes place each June in the grounds of Eastnor Castle. Riders enter solo or in teams, camp beside the course and keep racing non-stop from one day to the next.
A 24-hour race mixes solo riders and relay teams, day and night. We insure all your participants under one single policy. Medical assistance is reachable 24/7, even at 3 a.m., and repatriation is included, anywhere in the world. We can also become a partner or sponsor of your race.
Yes. This is personal accident insurance, so each rider in a team takes out cover individually. Everyone then has the same guarantees, whether they ride a day lap or a night lap.
No. AxeoSport is not cancellation insurance, so your entry, camping pitch and travel aren't refunded. The policy steps in after a bodily injury, for treatment, repatriation and disability.
Yes. Cover doesn't depend on the time. A crash at 3 a.m. on the course triggers the same guarantees as one in broad daylight, with assistance reachable at any hour.
Yes, since Mountain Mayhem is a race with rankings. The Competition option covers you in official competition at the event and all season, on top of the core guarantees.
The price depends on your profile and your choice of guarantees, with or without the Competition option. The online quote shows it in a few minutes, with no commitment.
