Portuguese terrain mixes loose stones, holes hidden in the grass and ditches, so a twisted ankle is the classic injury, followed by cuts from rockrose and fences. Medical costs are covered up to €150,000, including consultation, X-rays and surgery if you need it.
Controls often sit far from any track, and a fracture can leave you stuck kilometres from the finish. Assistance and repatriation at actual cost cover your evacuation from the accident site and your trip home afterwards, whether that is Stockholm, Helsinki or Leeds.
The POM is raced stage by stage with an overall ranking, and its races often count on the international calendar. The Competition option covers you in these official races, then for the rest of your orienteering season, from local events to championships.
A slide down a steep bank or a crash into a stump can injure a knee or shoulder for good. The permanent disability lump sum, up to €200,000, steps in if after-effects remain once you have healed, to help you adapt daily and working life.
Fatigue builds from one stage to the next, and the ankle often gives way on the third or fourth day. Runners arriving from snowy countries find dry, hard ground, slopes of rolling stones and brambles. One reading error and you cut straight through the vegetation, exactly where most falls happen.
The rest of the year you run in forests, urban sprints or night events with a headtorch and compass. An orienteering insurance policy with personal accident cover protects every outing, training or racing, at home or abroad, whatever your country of residence happens to be.
The POM is a multi-day orienteering competition held each winter in Portugal, on maps that change from one edition to the next. European orienteers treat it as a pre-season camp, taking advantage of the milder February weather to get their first races in.
Your event runs several forest stages, with hundreds of runners alone with their map. We insure all your participants in one single policy. Medical assistance is reachable day and night, seven days a week, for the whole event, and repatriation is included. We can also become a partner or sponsor of your event.
Yes. If you are insured for the whole event, every stage is covered, and so are training sessions on nearby maps during rest days, with the same benefits throughout.
No. This is not cancellation insurance. It refunds neither your entry, your flight nor your accommodation. It covers the consequences of a bodily accident, whether you are racing or training.
Yes. Cover does not depend on your country of residence. After an accident in Portugal, assistance arranges your trip home, wherever you live in Europe or beyond.
Ankle sprains on stony ground, cuts and scratches from rockrose, and falls on rolling stones when running downhill. Less often, fractures or knocks to the head after a fall on a steep slope.
The price varies with your profile, the length of cover and whether you choose the Competition option. The online quote gives you the exact amount in a few clicks, before you commit.
