When the sea wind hits the straight, your cover holds

icon Frais médicaux

A long descent, a rolled ankle, €150,000 of care

The drop towards the coast hammers your quads and tempts you into a pace your legs cannot hold. One bad step on a kerb or a drain cover and the ankle goes. Medical costs are covered up to €150,000, from the first X-ray to surgery.

icon Transport et rapatriement

Picked up at the roadside, flown home at actual cost

Finishing twenty-one kilometres from where you started leaves you far from your hotel, and often a flight away from home. Assistance and repatriation are covered at actual cost, from evacuation on the course to the journey back to your own front door.

icon Option compétition

Chip-timed classic, whole season included

Roma-Ostia is a ranked, chip-timed race, and many runners use it as a sharpener before a spring marathon. The Competition option covers this bib and every other one on your calendar, training runs between them included.

icon Capital invalidité

Lasting damage from a pack fall: €200,000

With twelve thousand starters, the opening kilometres are run shoulder to shoulder, and one trip takes several runners down. If knee or spinal damage proves permanent, permanent disability capital runs to €200,000, to fund the changes that follow at home and at work.

Where a downhill half catches runners out

A downhill profile flatters you early and punishes you late. You bank time in the first ten kilometres, then the sea wind arrives head-on along an exposed straight with nothing to hide behind. March in Rome swings between cool mornings and strong sun, dehydration creeps in, and a broken stride turns into a torn tendon.

This half sits inside a longer season of winter mileage, track work and a spring marathon to come. Your risk of a fall or an impact is spread across all of it, not just one Sunday morning. An annual half marathon insurance policy covers training and racing alike, in Italy and wherever else you pin on a number.
