By March the Mediterranean sun already bakes a seafront with almost no shade. Dehydration sets in, concentration slips, and a foot gives way on cambered tarmac or a drainage channel. Medical costs are covered up to €150,000, emergency care and surgery included.
A race-day Corniche is hemmed in by barriers and spectators, so crews move slowly to reach a casualty. Once evacuated, a runner who travelled in is stuck far from home. Assistance and repatriation are covered at actual cost, all the way back to your door.
The Marseille route is not flat, and many runners take it on with a target time and a timing chip. That is official competition. The Competition option covers this bib and the rest of your racing year, from spring roads to summer trails above the coast.
Along the coast road, a clash of elbows puts you into a low wall or bare rock rather than grass. A shoulder, a hip or a wrist can keep permanent damage. The permanent disability capital runs up to €200,000 when the loss is lasting.
Two traps stack up here. The mistral can blow head-on along long seafront stretches, breaking your rhythm and emptying your legs well before the finish. Spring sunshine on a shadeless coast road pushes the felt temperature higher than the forecast suggests. Runners go out hard in the shelter of the city, then fall apart once the sea opens up.
This marathon is one date in a long year. You also run winter roads in the rain, dry summer trails, sometimes well outside France. Year-round marathon insurance covers your training and every bib you pin on, whatever country you happen to live in. Training weeks count as much as race day.
A marathon and a 10 km in spring, roughly 15,000 participants, and a course that tracks the sea for a large part of its length. Here are the practical details to settle before you enter and book your weekend.
A marathon and a 10 km on the same day, along an exposed point-to-point course, call for clear cover. We insure all your participants through a single sign-up. Our medical assistance line is reachable day and night while the race is on, and repatriation is included. We can also partner your event.
Yes. Losing balance in the wind and hitting the road is a bodily accident. Your treatment and any medical transport are covered within the limits set out in the policy.
Yes. Both distances sit inside the same framework. Individual accident insurance follows the runner rather than the distance, and it also applies to your training runs on the coast road.
It organises your evacuation from the scene and then your journey home at actual cost. Treatment itself falls under the medical costs guarantee, which runs up to €150,000.
No. This is not cancellation insurance, so your bib, hotel and flights are not refunded. The policy responds to the bodily consequences of an accident instead.
It depends on the period you choose and whether you add the Competition option. The online quote gives you a figure within a few minutes and commits you to nothing.
