After 90 km on the bike, the half marathon is where tired legs stop doing what they are told. Feet land carelessly, an ankle rolls on a path edge, a stumble turns into a fall. Your medical costs up to €150,000 cover treatment, scans, hospital stays and surgery following the accident.
South Cerney is a Gloucestershire village, not a quick hop from the main airports if you have travelled from abroad. If an injury means you cannot travel alone, assistance and repatriation at actual cost arranges evacuation from the course, care on the spot and the trip back to your front door.
The Cotswold 113 is timed with official results, and many athletes use it as a season goal or a dress rehearsal for an Ironman. The Competition Option covers you in official competition on this race and on every other event in your calendar.
A high-speed crash on a country lane can leave lasting damage: a stiff joint, nerve injury or reduced mobility. Once permanent disability is established, the permanent disability benefit of up to €200,000 is paid according to the recognised rate, to fund adaptations at home or make up for lost income.
The classic middle-distance error is riding too hard and paying for it on the run. Add a lake swim that can feel chilly in early summer, badly judged feed stations and the tiredness that makes you careless on corners. The next morning it is usually tendons and ankles doing the complaining.
A half-distance race means months of preparation: long rides, open-water sessions, long runs. That is when plenty of injuries happen. Triathlon insurance that runs all year, in training as well as racing and in any country, protects the whole build-up, not just race day in the Cotswolds.
The Cotswold 113 is raced in June around the Cotswold Water Park, a string of former gravel pits turned into a water-sports area. Middle distance, around 1,000 starters and a field of serious amateurs make it a natural step before a first full-distance race.
A middle-distance triathlon is a long day for your volunteers and medical crew. With a single policy, we insure every one of your participants. Medical assistance is reachable 24/7 throughout the race, repatriation is included anywhere in the world, and we can also come on board as a partner or sponsor of your event.
Yes. The policy covers training as well as racing. A crash on a long ride or an injury during a run session is covered by the same guarantees as race day itself.
A licence often provides basic cover. AxeoSport personal accident insurance adds medical costs up to €150,000, assistance with repatriation at actual cost and a permanent disability benefit, valid in England and everywhere else.
No. This is not cancellation insurance: entry, travel and accommodation are not refunded. The policy only responds to bodily injury, whether it happens during the race or in training.
Yes. Cover applies whatever your country of residence. A triathlete from France, Italy or Spain gets exactly the same guarantees, and repatriation brings them all the way home.
