The cobbled lanes of the old town are taken downhill, at speed, several runners abreast. An ankle that slips sideways off a wet stone turns into a bad sprain or a fracture. Your medical costs are covered up to €150,000, scans and surgery included.
In a field this size one fall brings down others, and help takes time to work its way up to you. Assistance coordinates evacuation from the course, then repatriation to your home at actual cost, in Switzerland or abroad.
The 16.1 kilometres are raced on the clock, with seeded pens, pacers and real results. The Competition option guarantees official competitive running, on this event and across the rest of your road season, summer included.
A bad landing on the descent towards the Aare can leave a knee unstable or a back fragile for years. The permanent disability capital reaches €200,000 and goes towards adapting your home, your work or your running.
Ten miles is neither a 10 km nor a half, and plenty of runners set off on 10 km pace then come apart on the climb above the river. Cobbles and the kerbs under the arcades catch tired ankles, and by May the Bern sun already bites on the unshaded sections of the route.
Distance running is not one date in May. You stack threshold sessions, hill repeats and autumn races, often on uneven surfaces and in the dark. The contract covers all of that: see our distance running insurance for a full year of cover, in Switzerland and beyond.
The Grand Prix von Bern offers an unusual distance, ten miles or 16.1 kilometres, on a route that mixes the banks of the Aare with the ramps and cobbles of the historic centre. With around 30,000 entries in May, it is the largest race in Switzerland.
You manage a single-day event with tight start waves and tens of thousands of runners. We insure your participants anywhere in the world with one sign-up. Our medical assistance answers day and night while you are racing, and repatriation is included. We can also come on board as a partner.
Yes. The event is timed and ranked, so the Competition option is the right choice. It guarantees competitive running over these 16.1 kilometres and across every other race on your calendar.
Yes. Cover holds whatever your country of residence. If an accident happens in Bern, assistance arranges treatment locally and then your journey home, paid at actual cost.
Sprains, wrist fractures and deep cuts count as bodily consequences of a race accident, so medical costs apply up to the ceiling, including hospital admission and any surgery that follows.
No. This contract is individual accident insurance and not cancellation insurance, so neither the entry nor the travel is refunded. It covers bodily injury caused by an accident.
The figure depends on the formula and the length of cover you choose. The AxeoSport online quote shows your price within minutes, with or without the Competition option.
