A long section of the course follows the Portway out and back, so runners pass each other, bunch up at the turn and change pace. One misplaced foot or a clipped heel is enough for a sprain. Your medical costs are covered up to €150,000, including treatment, hospital stays and surgery.
Bristol draws runners from all over Britain and abroad, many of them making a weekend of it. If an injury stops you taking the train, car or plane home as planned, assistance arranges your repatriation at actual cost, from the place of the accident to your door.
The AJ Bell Great Bristol Run is an official race with a bib and results. The Competition option covers you in official competition that day and across your whole season, from winter cross country through to autumn halves and marathons.
On the road, a heavy fall late in the race or a collision at a drinks station can cause serious harm. If it results in a permanent disability, a lump sum of up to €200,000 helps you adapt your home, your work and your daily routine.
The floor of the gorge can funnel wind and hold the damp, and May weather swings between cool spells and showers. The usual mistakes still apply: going out too fast, new shoes, skipped drinks stations. On the out-and-back section, seeing faster runners coming the other way tempts you to push too early, and your legs make you pay before the finish.
Bristol is a city of hills, and many runners prepare by stacking up hill reps and long winter runs. Those sessions bring the same sprains and falls as the race itself. Our half marathon insurance covers you all year, in training and in competition, at home or abroad, whatever your country of residence.
Part of the Great Run Series calendar, the AJ Bell Great Bristol Run offers a spring half marathon in the south west of England. The route links Bristol city centre with the Avon Gorge and suits runners aiming for a time as well as those new to the distance.
Your half marathon comes with its own challenges: out-and-back sections, drinks stations, thousands of entrants to manage. We insure all your participants under one single policy. Medical assistance is reachable day and night, 24/7, and repatriation is included. We can also be a partner or sponsor of your event, anywhere in the world.
Yes. Cover applies along the whole AJ Bell Great Bristol Run route, in the city and beside the river, and in training as well. Where the accident happens makes no difference to your guarantees.
No. AxeoSport is not cancellation insurance. Your bib, train fare or hotel stay remain your own cost. Personal accident insurance only applies when you suffer a bodily injury, in training or during the race.
Shoes you have already broken in, a light layer for waiting at the start and something to keep off a shower. Down in the gorge the air can feel cooler than in the city centre, especially early on.
Yes. Cover applies to training as well as racing, at home or abroad. Your hill sessions, long runs and tune-up races are all included if you suffer an accidental bodily injury.
It depends on your profile and the cover you pick, including the Competition option. The online quote gives you your price in a few minutes, with no commitment, before you confirm your entry.
