Andalusian winter stays mild and the mid-morning sun catches runners who trained in the cold. A marathon run overheated often ends in collapse. Medical costs are covered up to €150,000, including treatment on the course and hospital care afterwards.
An accident far from home means arranging a journey back, sometimes unable to walk. From the promenade to your own address, assistance and repatriation are covered at real cost, whatever country you happen to live in.
This marathon is run with an official bib, and most entrants are already eyeing spring races. The Competition option covers official racing, on the December course and across the rest of your road season.
A fast course is run fast, and a fall on city asphalt at that pace can cause lasting harm. Where permanent disability is recognised, a capital sum of up to €200,000 is paid to you, offsetting a lasting loss of independence.
Many arrive off weeks of cold-weather training, then meet a high sun and dry air over the closing kilometres. A flat profile makes the early pace feel free, so the first half goes too quickly. Dehydration builds unnoticed because the calendar says winter, and cramp arrives as the route turns back towards the city.
A December marathon sits inside a training year that started the previous summer and carries on after the finish. Overuse injuries, falls on easy runs and accidents at other races matter as much as race day. Year-round marathon insurance covers your sessions and your bibs, in Spain and anywhere else.
The last big road race of the Andalusian year, the Zurich Maratón de Málaga offers a marathon and a half marathon on a flat, quick route between the seafront and the historic centre. Close to ten thousand runners take part each winter.
You put on a marathon with a half alongside it, two starts on the same morning. One sign-up insures every participant for personal accident. Medical assistance stays reachable day and night during the event, and repatriation is included. We can also come on board as a partner or sponsor.
Yes. The climate stays mild and the sun is strong by late morning on a course with little shade. Runners routinely drink too little because the date on the calendar says winter.
Yes. Cover applies to competitive road running whatever distance you enter. Half or full, your bib is covered as soon as the Competition option is attached to your contract.
No. This is individual accident insurance, not cancellation cover. It pays for the bodily consequences of an accident, never for a bib, a hotel booking or an airline ticket.
Cover does not begin at the start line. An accident on a shakeout run or while scouting the course falls under the same guarantees, medical costs and assistance included.
The figure depends on the formula and the length of cover you choose. The online quote shows your price within a few minutes, before you commit to anything at all.
