Cold start, Arena finish, cover that holds all the way

icon Frais médicaux

Torn fibres on cold tarmac, €150,000 of care

Starting at a couple of degrees above zero punishes a rushed warm-up. A torn muscle, a tendon that lets go, a slip on tarmac still damp with fog: medical costs are covered up to €150,000, scans and surgery included.

icon Transport et rapatriement

Admitted in Italy, flown home at actual cost

Most visiting runners come for two nights and leave on Monday. If an accident keeps you in hospital, assistance arranges repatriation at actual cost and gets you back to your own medical team, whatever country you live in.

icon Option compétition

Two timed distances, one Competition option

Marathon or half, the results are official and the running counts as competition. The Competition option covers timed racing on this winter bib and on the spring races and autumn marathons already pencilled into your year.

icon Capital invalidité

Flat, fast, and hard on knees: up to €200,000

A flat course lets you hold pace for hours, which sends thousands of identical impacts through the knee and the Achilles tendon. When the damage lasts, the permanent disability benefit reaches €200,000, assessed on the recognised level.

Why a winter marathon catches out spring runners

February in the Veneto means a start near zero, fog sitting on the plain and cold road underfoot. The training block ran through the darkest weeks of the year, usually with fewer kilometres than planned. Many runners set off at the pace they held last April and pay for it somewhere after thirty kilometres.

The rest of your year happens elsewhere: icy January roads, track sessions, an April half, an autumn marathon. Injuries turn up in those weeks just as often as on race day. Annual cover moves with you from one bib to the next. Our marathon insurance sets out each guarantee.

FAQ

Common questions about this February marathon

No. Temperature excludes nothing. Medical costs, assistance and the disability benefit apply whether you run at two degrees in fog or in bright afternoon sunshine.

Yes. Both distances sit under the same guarantees. Your format changes nothing for medical costs, for assistance or for the Competition option carried by your bib.

No. This is not a cancellation policy. Bib, travel and hotel are outside it. It responds to the bodily consequences of an accident suffered in training or during the race.

A quick profile encourages hours at a high pace, multiplying identical impacts through knee, hip and Achilles tendon. Medical costs answer the acute injury, and the disability benefit answers consequences that stay.

The figure depends on the formula, the length of cover and the options you select. The online quote shows an exact price within minutes and lets you subscribe before bib collection.
