In the old town, cobbled streets and tram rails demand constant attention, even as fatigue sets in. One twist or a fall on a bridge ramp and your race is over. Medical costs are covered up to €150,000, including treatment, hospital stays and surgery.
An injured runner in Riga is often a long way from their own doctor and family. AxeoSport assistance arranges evacuation from the accident site and your return home. Repatriation is covered at actual cost, whether you live in Dublin, Toronto or Paris.
A labelled race attracts runners chasing a benchmark time, and the intensity rises from the gun. The Competition option covers official competition, at the Rimi Riga Marathon and across your whole season, whether you run the 10K, the half or the full distance.
With 30,000 participants, start pens and aid zones stay crowded, and one collision can cause a serious injury. If lasting effects remain, the permanent disability benefit can reach €200,000, paid according to the assessed level, to help you adapt your daily life.
In May, Riga can deliver a chilly start and strong sunshine by halfway, and many runners get their kit and drinking wrong. Old-town cobbles, the ramps up to the bridges and wind across the Daugava drain tired legs, and falls become more frequent in the closing kilometres.
A Baltic spring marathon is only one stop in a running year. Threshold sessions, long runs and tune-up races expose you to the same accidents. With personal accident cover designed as insurance for marathon runners, you are protected in training and competition, anywhere in the world and whatever your country of residence.
The Rimi Riga Marathon takes place in May in the Latvian capital, with a marathon, half and 10K. It holds a World Athletics Gold Label and takes runners through the old town and over the Daugava bridges. The key details are below.
Three distances, an international label and runners from many countries: your event plays on a bigger stage. We insure all your participants under one single policy. Medical assistance is reachable day and night, 24/7, during the race, and repatriation is included anywhere in the world. We can also become a partner of your event.
Yes, if you race with a number and official timing. The Competition option covers official competition, at the Rimi Riga Marathon and at the other races on your calendar this season.
Yes. Cover applies in training as well as on race day. A fall on a long run or during a track session is covered within the limits of your policy, at home or abroad.
No. This is not cancellation insurance, so your entry, flights and accommodation in Riga stay at your own cost. The policy covers the consequences of a bodily accident, before or during the race.
The old-town cobbles test your ankles and get slippery in the rain. Choose shoes with good grip, shorten your stride on those stretches and keep an eye on tram rails, especially late in the race.
