On a road marathon, tarmac and constant small accelerations wear tendons down, and a fall in the crowded first kilometre ends in a wrist or a collarbone. Your medical expenses are covered up to €150,000, scans, surgery and hospital stay included.
A city start line does not remove the need for assistance. After emergency treatment you may still need medical transport home, especially if you travelled a long way for this bib. Assistance and repatriation are covered at actual cost, right to your door.
A marathon is run with a chip and an official results list, and you will not stop there: a half in winter, a 10 km in spring. The Competition option covers racing under official rules, on this event and through the twelve months that follow.
Rail crossings, kerbs and damp metal plates in October cause genuine falls at full speed, often with other runners boxing you in. If the accident leaves permanent impairment, the permanent disability capital pays up to €200,000 and funds whatever comes next.
Early October in Lyon means a chilly start and, sometimes, a finish in open sunshine. Many runners set off overdressed, then far too fast, carried along by the density of the field. By kilometre thirty come the cramp, the tendon pain, the fatigue that follows poor drinking and the late falls that go with it.
A marathon is built over four to six months of long runs, often along the riverbanks and up the slopes above the city. Those weeks of accumulation are when injuries land, with no bib and no medical post anywhere near. Year-round marathon insurance covers that training just as it covers race day.
The biggest running weekend in Lyon, Run In Lyon brings together around twenty thousand participants across a marathon, a half marathon and a 10 kilometre race in early October. It attracts seasoned time-chasers and first-time marathoners in equal measure.
You handle three starts on the same day and tens of thousands of runners out on the road. We insure all your participants in one single policy. Our medical assistance is reachable day and night while the race runs, repatriation is included, anywhere in the world. We can also partner your marathon.
Yes. All three distances fall under the same guarantee. Medical expenses, assistance, repatriation and disability capital apply in exactly the same way whether your bib says 10 kilometres or 42.
Yes. Cover applies whatever your country of residence. After a bodily accident, assistance arranges treatment on the spot and then repatriation at actual cost to your own home, wherever in the world that is.
No. This contract is not cancellation insurance. It covers the bodily consequences of an accident, not money committed: not the entry, not the train, not the hotel booked for race weekend.
Because Run In Lyon is run under official rules with a results list. The Competition option covers that kind of racing on the event and across the season, which the basic guarantee does not do for ranked races.
On the plan you choose, the length of cover you want and whether the Competition option is added. The online quote shows your figure in a few questions, before any purchase and with no commitment.
