There is almost no shade between the two border towns and the road gives the heat straight back. A fainting runner or a twisted ankle needs a doctor the same hour. Your medical costs are covered up to €150,000, including hospital care and surgery.
Oiapoque sits hours of road away from the hospitals of Cayenne, with a wide river in between. If an accident stops you on the far side, assistance and repatriation are covered at real cost, from the roadside to your own front door.
The half marathon is timed and ranked, so you are racing, not jogging. The Competition option covers official racing, meaning this border crossing in November and every other start line and training block across your season.
A badly healed fracture or a head injury taken on the bridge approach can leave limits you keep for life. In that case a permanent disability capital of up to €200,000 is paid to you, to adapt your home and your working life.
Runners who train in cooler places start far too fast here. The humidity stops sweat from doing its job, the pace drifts, and the body gives up somewhere after ten kilometres. Add the traffic on the bridge, the riverbank road and a field of only three hundred, and a runner in trouble at the back can wait a long while for help.
One race is never the whole year. Long runs on forest tracks, interval sessions, a handful of other bibs between seasons: that is where most injuries happen. Our half marathon insurance runs through all of it, in training and in competition, at home and abroad, whatever country you live in.
This is a young and still small event: one half marathon, one 6 km, and a route that leaves French Guiana and finishes in Brazil over the Oyapock bridge. The official website is still being built, so confirm entry details directly with the organisers.
You run a long distance and a short one on the same morning. We insure all your runners with a single sign-up. While the event is on, our medical assistance line is reachable day and night, and repatriation is included. We can also back your race as a partner, anywhere in the world.
Yes. The policy follows you, not the border. You are covered over the whole route, from the start in Saint-Georges to the finish in Oiapoque, and while you travel around the event.
Yes. Heat exhaustion and falls happen over six kilometres just as they do over twenty-one. The same personal accident cover applies whichever of the two distances you have entered.
No. This is personal accident insurance, not cancellation insurance. Your bib and travel costs are not reimbursed. What we take care of is the medical and financial fallout of a bodily accident.
Assistance arranges care from the place of the accident, transport to a hospital that can treat you, and the journey home if your condition calls for it, all at real cost.
It depends on the formula you pick, how long you want to be covered and whether you add the Competition option. The online quote gives you an exact price in a few minutes, with no commitment.
