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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Running from Rome's EUR district to the seafront at Ostia, Roma-Ostia is a fixture of the Italian calendar and draws around twelve thousand runners each March. One distance, a quick point-to-point route and a field full of people chasing personal bests.
A start and a finish twenty-one kilometres apart makes medical logistics harder. We insure all your participants with one single sign-up. Our medical assistance line is reachable day and night during the race, repatriation is included, and we can also come on board as a partner of your event.
Yes. It applies whatever your country of residence and wherever the race takes place, so medical costs and repatriation are handled the same way in Italy as at home.
Yes. A descending profile loads quads, knees and tendons hard, which is why many runners finish sore. Accidents themselves are covered, through medical costs, assistance and, if the damage lasts, disability capital.
No. This is personal accident insurance rather than cancellation insurance, so bibs, trains and hotels stay your expense. What it pays for is the medical consequences of an accident.
Yes, with the annual Competition option. It covers each official race you enter, this March half and the marathon that follows, plus the long runs you do in between.
It depends on the formula and the length of cover you pick, one race or a full year. The online quote shows the exact amount in a couple of minutes, before anything is signed.
