Vosges descents run narrow, shaded and often damp, and tired legs brake late. A broken collarbone or a shoulder on the tarmac means scans, surgery and days in hospital. Your medical costs are covered up to €150,000, including hospital stays and the operating theatre.
An ambulance needs time to reach a pass road between two valleys, and the right trauma unit is rarely the nearest one. Assistance and repatriation are covered at actual cost, from the evacuation itself to the journey back to your own front door, wherever you live.
Gérardmer is raced under federation rules, with wave starts, timing chips and a results list. The Competition option covers you in official racing, on this start line and through every other event you enter that year, from spring sprints to winter duathlons.
A heavy fall can leave a shoulder that never rotates freely again or a knee that gives way on stairs, and some jobs cannot absorb that. The permanent disability benefit pays up to €200,000, based on the degree of impairment assessed once your condition has stabilised.
Mountain water is colder than the pool you trained in, and the first hundred metres can take your breath away. Then the bike leg climbs, and the real test comes on the way back down, when legs are empty and the corners keep coming. Many starters meet that terrain for the first time on race morning.
One September day is only part of it. Winter pool sessions, long spring rides, an August training camp, the club duathlon in between, each carries its own risk. A personal triathlon insurance policy runs all year across all three disciplines, at home and abroad, whatever country you live in.
Set in the Hautes-Vosges, the Gérardmer triathlon has grown into one of the largest on the French calendar, with roughly 4,000 entries each September. Four distances share the same lake start, which brings first-timers and long-course regulars to the same beach.
You run four distances over one weekend. We insure every one of your starters with a single subscription, sprint entrants and long-course athletes alike. Medical assistance stays reachable day and night while you race, and repatriation is included. We can also back your triathlon as a partner.
Yes. Bodily injury during the swim leg is covered, including an emergency lift from the water. Medical costs and assistance apply from the moment the safety crew reaches you.
No. This is not cancellation insurance. The policy covers the bodily consequences of an accident, not your entry, not your hotel in the valley, not your travel to the start.
It confirms cover for racing under official rules, where timing, rankings and federation oversight apply. The same option follows you through the season, so your other races and long training rides are covered too.
Yes. Cover does not depend on where you live. An overseas starter is insured on the course, and repatriation to their home address is handled at actual cost.
The price depends on the formula you pick and whether you insure a single event or a full season. The AxeoSport online quote returns an exact figure in a couple of minutes, with no commitment.
