Much of the route follows the coast, where a sea breeze can catch a tired stride. One clumsy step, a fall onto outstretched hands, and a wrist or ankle gives way. Medical expenses are covered up to €150,000, for treatment, hospital stays and surgery.
Being injured far from home makes every decision harder, from choosing a hospital to rebooking a flight. AxeoSport assistance arranges your evacuation from the accident site and your journey home, with repatriation paid at actual cost, wherever you happen to live.
An official marathon brings a timing chip, a race number and an intensity no training run matches. The Competition option covers you in official competition, on the Helsinki full or half and at every other event in your season, from a local 10K to a big international marathon.
A heavy fall in a dense pack or a collision with a barrier near an aid station can cause permanent damage. In that case, the permanent disability benefit can reach €200,000, paid according to the assessed level, to help you adjust your daily life.
People picture Helsinki as cool, but an August race day can turn mild and sunny, and plenty of runners set off too fast. Wind off the sea wears you down on exposed stretches, the turns through the city break your rhythm, and late-race fatigue makes falls more likely around the aid stations.
A marathon is built over months of long runs, hill sessions and tune-up races, each one a chance to get hurt. AxeoSport marathon insurance works as a personal accident policy in training and in competition all year round, at home or abroad, whatever your country of residence.
The Helsinki City Marathon takes place in August in the Finnish capital, with a full marathon and a half. The route makes the most of the coastline and central neighbourhoods under long Nordic summer light. Here is what to keep in mind before you travel.
A full and a half marathon start on the same day, with runners of every level. You can protect all your participants with one single policy. Our medical assistance is reachable day and night, 24/7, throughout the event, and repatriation is included anywhere in the world. We can also partner with or sponsor your race.
Yes. The policy applies whatever your country of residence. A runner from Quebec, Australia or Switzerland gets the same cover in Finland as during training at home.
Yes. Your guarantees are identical on the half and the full. If you race with a number, add the Competition option, which also covers the other official events in your season.
No. AxeoSport is not cancellation insurance, so neither your entry nor your tickets to Finland are refunded. The policy steps in after a bodily accident, for treatment, assistance and any lasting disability.
Pace yourself for the day's weather, which can be warmer than expected, and shelter from the wind on coastal sections. Drink regularly and study the final kilometres, where fatigue causes the most falls.
It depends on your profile and the cover you choose, including the Competition option. The online quote shows the exact price in a few minutes, with no commitment, so you can sign up before you leave.
