September showers can leave Oslo's streets slick, and cool mornings stiffen tired legs. One misstep on wet stone or a kerb you didn't see can end in the emergency room. Medical costs are covered up to €150,000, including hospital stays and surgery after an accident.
An injury that keeps you off your return flight turns a race weekend into a logistics headache. AxeoSport's assistance team arranges evacuation from where the accident happened and brings you home. Repatriation is paid at actual cost, whether home is Lyon, Leeds or Lisbon.
A race number changes how hard you push, and that is when injuries tend to happen. The Competition option covers you in official races, at the Oslo Marathon and at every other sanctioned event on your calendar, whether you line up for 10 kilometres or the full 42.
A heavy fall on a wet road or a collision with a kerb can leave consequences that last well beyond race day. The permanent disability benefit pays a lump sum based on the assessed level of disability, up to €200,000, to help you adapt your home, work or daily routine.
Oslo's traps are rarely dramatic. Runners misjudge the September weather and start overdressed or underdressed, surge too hard through the city centre, or forget how damp cobbles grip a worn shoe. By the final 10 kilometres, fatigue makes every kerb and tram rail a hazard, and the next aid station can feel a long way off.
Marathon training carries risk long before race day: long summer runs, interval sessions on the track, warm-up races. Proper marathon insurance should follow you through all of it. AxeoSport personal accident cover works in training and in competition, at home or abroad, whatever your country of residence.
The Oslo Marathon takes place each September in Norway's capital, with three distances to suit every level. The route winds through the city centre and along the waterfront, usually in cool conditions. Here is what to know as you plan your trip and your training block.
A marathon, a half and a 10K on the same day means thousands of different runners to look after. We insure all your participants with a single policy. Medical assistance is reachable 24/7 throughout the event, and repatriation is included, anywhere in the world. We can also become a partner or sponsor of your race.
Yes. AxeoSport personal accident insurance works whatever your country of residence. A runner from Germany, Canada or the UK gets the same cover in Oslo as during training sessions back home.
No. Your guarantees don't depend on the distance. With the Competition option, you are covered on any of the three Oslo Marathon races, and on the other official events in your season.
No. AxeoSport is not cancellation insurance and does not refund your bib, flights or hotel in Oslo. It covers the consequences of a bodily accident, in training or on race day.
Sprained ankles and falls top the list, helped by cobbles and occasionally wet roads. Knocks in the crowded start area come next. Medical expenses cover treatment, hospital stays and surgery after an accident.
