Waves pack hundreds of runners across the width of The Mall, and one clipped heel in the opening metres can bring several people down at once. Medical expenses up to €150,000 cover treatment, imaging and hospital care following the accident, for participants from any country.
Plenty of visitors travel to London to run this mile together as a family or a club. If one of you is hurt, assistance and repatriation at actual cost handle care from the course and the journey home, organised around your medical condition, wherever home is.
The Vitality Westminster Mile sorts runners into category waves, and the quickest race hard against the clock. The Competition option guarantees this official race along with the rest of your calendar, from track miles to autumn road races.
Even over a short distance, landing badly at speed can permanently damage a knee, a shoulder or a hand. The permanent disability benefit of up to €200,000 is paid according to the disability rate assessed after recovery, to help you adapt your daily life.
It's easy to underestimate such a short distance. Yet skipping the warm-up, an explosive start after months without speedwork and densely packed waves create ideal conditions for falls. People returning to running, many of them drawn by this family-friendly event, are the most exposed, especially if May sunshine warms up The Mall.
Training for a mile means track sessions, hill reps and regular runs throughout the year, each with its own risk of a sprain or a tumble. Our distance running insurance covers those sessions as well as your races, at home and abroad, so speed stays fun rather than costly.
Run each May on The Mall, the Vitality Westminster Mile invites around 8,000 participants to cover one mile, or 1,609 metres, finishing in front of Buckingham Palace. Waves are organised by age and ability, from families out for fun to club runners chasing a time.
Running a short race with wave starts? We insure all your participants under one policy. Medical assistance can be reached 24/7 during the event, and repatriation is included anywhere in the world. We would also be glad to partner with or sponsor your event.
Yes, it's worth having. Falls at wave starts and injuries at full speed happen over short distances too, and outside your home country, treatment or a hospital stay can quickly become expensive without personal cover.
No. AxeoSport is not cancellation insurance and does not refund entry fees or travel costs. The policy covers the consequences of bodily injury from an accident: treatment, assistance, repatriation and a lump sum for permanent disability.
It guarantees you while racing in the timed waves of the Vitality Westminster Mile, then in every official competition across your season. Without it, your training is still covered, but racing in official competitions is not.
Yes. Personal accident insurance applies in training as well as racing. A fall during track intervals or hill reps falls under the same guarantees as an accident on the mile course itself.
That depends on the plan and options you pick. The online quote shows your exact price within moments, with no commitment, and you can sign up straight away if it suits you.
