On long course, attention drops as the hours add up, and a tired fall at cruising speed does real damage. Your medical costs are covered up to €150,000, from the emergency room through surgery and however long you stay in hospital.
The bike loop pulls away from the city into thinly served areas, where stopping with an injury leaves you waiting. Assistance and repatriation are covered at actual cost, from the pick-up at the roadside to the journey back to your own home.
Whether you take on the full or the middle distance, you race against the clock with published results, which is what many general policies set aside. The Competition option insures that racing here and at every other start you make this season.
A bad crash on the bike leg can leave permanent joint or nerve damage and put a return to work in doubt. The permanent disability capital reaches €200,000 and gives you room to reorganise your life rather than rush it.
Visitors expecting a cool northern summer get caught out. Across eight hours or more, hydration slips behind, the stomach shuts down and pacing falls apart. Mistakes follow from that tiredness: a wheel misjudged inside a group, a foot landing badly on a speed bump, a sugar crash in the middle of the marathon.
Getting to a long-course start line means hundreds of training hours, usually alone and often far from home. A crash on a Sunday ride is far more likely than one on race day. With year-round long-distance triathlon insurance, the build-up is covered just as thoroughly as the event.
Gdańsk hosts a July long-course triathlon offered in two formats, full and middle, in a Hanseatic city used to running large summer events. Around 2,000 athletes take part, a good share of them travelling in from neighbouring countries for the weekend.
You run two formats on the same day, with athletes out from early morning until dusk. We insure all your starters through a single sign-up, anywhere in the world. Our medical line answers day and night while the race is on, and repatriation is included. We can also partner your race.
No. The policy does not depend on your finishing time. Whether your day takes eight hours or fourteen, an accident during the race is handled the same way, cut-offs and course closures included.
No. The same policy covers both formats offered at Gdańsk. Only the length of cover and the Competition option change what you hold, depending on what you select when you request your quote.
Assistance deals directly with the hospital and your medical costs are covered up to €150,000. You are not left funding an admission or an operation yourself and claiming it back weeks later.
No. It is personal accident insurance, not cancellation insurance. Neither the entry nor the travel comes back to you. What it guarantees is the bodily consequences of an accident.
It comes down to the plan, the period you cover and the options you keep. The online quote works out your price in a few clicks and lets you compare calmly before taking anything out.
