Dense forest, open moor or dunes, with cover that reads the terrain

icon Frais médicaux

Ankle rolled off-path, up to €150,000 for care

Orienteering means running off the paths, through brambles, bracken and hidden stumps. Sprains and headlong falls come with the territory. Medical costs up to €150,000 cover consultations, scans, hospital stays and surgery after an accidental injury, whichever of the four races it happens in.

icon Transport et rapatriement

Over for Easter from abroad, brought home if needed

The JK draws orienteers from across Europe and beyond, often whole families. A serious injury far from home makes the trip back complicated. Assistance and repatriation at actual cost arrange evacuation from the scene of the accident to hospital, then your return home.

icon Option compétition

Ranked by age class, covered in competition

Each JK race counts towards official results by age class, from juniors to veterans. The Competition option covers you in official competition across all four days, then at championships, regional events and club weekends throughout your season.

icon Capital invalidité

Branch to the eye or a wrecked knee, a lump sum up to €200,000

A branch caught at full speed can injure an eye, and a fall into a gully can damage a knee or back for good. If the effects are permanent, the permanent disability benefit of up to €200,000 is paid according to the assessed disability rate.

Where do Easter orienteering weekends go wrong?

Four races in four days wear you down, and concentration slips. Less experienced orienteers run faster than their map reading allows and end up in thick vegetation or on steep ground. British Easter weather, with showers and greasy soil, makes slopes slippery, and tired legs make every misstep more costly.

Orienteering goes on all year, with club events, night training in the woods and coaching camps. A personal accident orienteering insurance policy covers each of those outings, in France and abroad, whatever your country of residence. It applies in training as well as in competition, so you are not left without cover between races.
