Cover shaped by salt water, hot asphalt and a mass swim start

icon Frais médicaux

Crash in the bunch, up to €150,000 of medical care

Barcelona's bike course runs on closed city roads, but tram rails, painted lines and tight corners still put wheels down. A touched wheel at speed means a collarbone, a wrist or worse. Your medical costs are covered up to €150,000, including surgery and hospital stay.

icon Transport et rapatriement

Lifted from the water, then flown home at actual cost

A swimmer in trouble off the Barcelona shoreline is pulled out by safety craft and taken to the nearest hospital. If you cannot fly home as planned, assistance and repatriation are covered at actual cost, back to your own address in any country.

icon Option compétition

Race number on, season-long racing included

A timed start list makes this official competition, and that changes what a standard policy will accept. The Competition option covers racing here and every other start line of your season, in Spain or anywhere else, with training sessions included.

icon Capital invalidité

Lasting damage after a high-speed fall, up to €200,000

Head injuries and spinal trauma from a bike crash do not always heal fully, and an income can disappear with them. The permanent disability capital reaches €200,000, paid according to the assessed rate, so a lasting injury does not become a lasting debt.

What a visiting age-grouper should settle before race morning

Most incidents here have nothing to do with fitness. A mass start of 5,000 swimmers means kicks to the ribs and lost bearings in choppy Mediterranean water. On the bike, riders brake late into unfamiliar corners. In transition, people run barefoot over hot ground and roll an ankle before the race has really begun.

Triathlon is a twelve-month habit, not an October weekend. Winter pool sessions, spring training camps and summer sprints produce most of the injuries athletes actually report. Year-round triathlon insurance covers training as well as racing, at home and abroad, so you are not buying a new policy every time a start list opens.
