Over 10 km of city tarmac, kerbs, traffic islands and tight corners catch runners out when the field bunches up. If you go down, medical expenses up to €150,000 cover consultations, scans, hospital stays and surgery following the accident, whether you live in the UK or abroad.
If you travelled in from Paris, Dublin or further afield, an injury on race day can make the trip home anything but simple. Assistance and repatriation at actual cost arrange your evacuation from the course and your return home, with a medical escort if doctors say you need one.
The Vitality London 10,000 is an official, chip-timed race on a course made for personal bests. The Competition option guarantees you in this event and in every other official race on your calendar, from winter cross-country to autumn road races and beyond.
With thousands of runners shoulder to shoulder, a trip can mean a broken wrist or a knee injury that never fully recovers. The permanent disability benefit of up to €200,000 pays out according to the disability rate assessed once your condition has stabilised.
A flat course tempts runners to go out too hard, and the crowded first kilometre is often run well above target pace. Calves and hamstrings pay for it later. Late May can bring a cool, drizzly morning or genuine warmth, and runners who skip the water stations risk dehydration. Wet corners add their share of slips.
Your running doesn't stop after one May morning. Track intervals, Sunday long runs, winter cross-country: every session carries the risk of a fall, a sprain or a fracture. Our distance running insurance covers you in training as well as racing, at home or abroad, all year round and whatever your country of residence.
Held every May in central London, this 10 km road race brings together around 15,000 participants, from club athletes to people running their first 10K. The flat route passes several of the city's landmarks on closed roads, which makes it a popular choice for anyone hunting a personal best.
Organising a one-morning road race? We insure all your participants under a single policy. Our medical assistance line is open 24/7 throughout the event, and repatriation is included, anywhere in the world. We can also come on board as a partner or sponsor of your race.
Yes. AxeoSport's personal accident insurance applies at home and abroad, whatever your country of residence. Medical costs and assistance therefore work in the UK, both on race day and during any shakeout runs beforehand.
No. This is not cancellation insurance, so it does not refund your entry, your train or flight, or your hotel. It responds only to bodily injury caused by an accident, covering treatment, repatriation and permanent disability.
Yes. Cover applies in training just as on race day. A sprain during an interval session or a fall on a muddy park path falls under the same guarantees as a trip on the course itself.
As early as you can, ideally when you enter, so you're protected throughout your build-up. You can buy it online in a few minutes, then add the Competition option to cover the timed race itself.
