The lanes around Kielder are narrow, bumpy and sometimes scattered with loose gravel. Lose the front wheel on a bend and you could be looking at a broken wrist or collarbone. Medical costs up to €150,000 cover the treatment, hospital stay and surgery that follow the accident.
Kielder is a genuinely remote place, and the big hospitals are a long drive away. If an accident calls for medical transport followed by a journey home, assistance and repatriation at actual cost arranges and pays for every stage, wherever home happens to be.
The Northumbrian Triathlon is a timed race with official results, over both full and half distance. The Competition option covers you in this official event and throughout your season, from the first spring triathlons to the final races of the autumn.
A pelvic fracture or a spinal injury after a bike crash can leave permanent limitations. The permanent disability capital, up to €200,000, is paid according to the assessed rate, helping you adapt your home, your work or the way you train.
Kielder Water is a reservoir with dark, cool water even in June, and it is easy to lose your bearings when sighting. The bike leg then stretches over rolling roads, often with no spectators and no shelter from the wind. On the full, the run ends late in the day, when tiredness makes every misstep riskier.
Getting ready for a full or half means months of long rides, open-water swims and brick sessions. Our triathlon insurance protects those sessions just as it protects race day, in the UK and abroad, whatever your country of residence and without switching policies between races.
The Northumbrian Triathlon takes place at Kielder, in a sparsely populated area of forest and moorland known for its protected night skies. It remains a human-scale event, with around 400 participants split between the full and half distance.
Do you organise a long-distance triathlon with two formats, full and half? We insure all your participants under a single policy. Medical assistance can be reached 24/7 during the event, which matters when emergency services are far away, and repatriation is included. We can also become a partner of your race.
No. Assistance organises evacuation from the scene of the accident, however isolated, then the transfer and your return home. These costs are covered at actual cost.
Yes. The guarantees are identical for both distances. Add the Competition option to be covered during the official race itself and in the other events of your season.
No. This policy is not cancellation insurance, so it refunds neither your entry nor your trip to Northumberland. It steps in after an accident causing bodily injury, in training or racing.
Yes. Cover applies in training as well as in competition, at home and abroad. A lake swim session or a preparation ride is therefore protected.
The price depends on your profile and the guarantees you choose. The online quote gives you the exact figure instantly, with or without the Competition option.
