Heat, humidity and hard road: four guarantees that keep pace

icon Frais médicaux

A fall on sun-baked tarmac: €150,000 in medical care

On road surfaces heated all day, a slip at a drinks station or a toe caught on a manhole cover ends in stitches and X-rays. Your medical costs are covered up to €150,000, from the emergency room to surgery if it proves necessary.

icon Transport et rapatriement

Stuck a long-haul flight from home: repatriation at actual cost

A fracture on a Caribbean island when you live elsewhere means reorganising a long-haul flight with a leg in plaster. Assistance and repatriation are covered at actual cost, from evacuation off the course to the moment you reach your own address.

icon Option compétition

Racing for an official result? Competition cover matters

The half is run under a race number, chip-timed, with a ranking that regulars on the island take seriously. The Competition option covers racing in official events, on this course and on every other start line of your season, training included.

icon Capital invalidité

One heavy fall, lasting limits: up to €200,000

An unseen kerb, a shoulder into a traffic bollard, and an injury can leave permanent restrictions. The permanent disability benefit reaches €200,000, helping you adapt your job and your daily routine once the accident is behind you.

What a visiting runner should settle before November

Caribbean heat punishes a fast opening. Humidity stops sweat from evaporating, core temperature climbs, legs stiffen and attention fades by halfway. That is when runners trip on kerbs, roll an ankle where the surface changes and push on through the warning signs instead of easing off.

Your season does not end in November. Other races follow, along with early morning long runs through the rest of the year. AxeoSport personal accident insurance runs for twelve months, in competition and in training, wherever you live. Take a look at our half marathon insurance for your full calendar.
