Setting off on foot again with legs emptied by the bike is exactly when a calf, a hamstring or an Achilles lets go. The pain arrives without warning, sometimes within sight of the finish. Medical costs are covered up to €150,000, scans and surgery included.
A rolled ankle or a crash leaving transition can put you on the ground with no way of getting yourself back. Assistance arranges evacuation and repatriation at real cost, from the edge of the course to your own home, however far away that is.
Nobody manages their effort over a format this brief. Riders hit transition flat out, with loose shoes and slick cleats underfoot. The Competition option covers official racing, at this duathlon and across every other number you pin on this year.
A collision on the bike leg of a town-centre race can leave lasting damage to a knee, a shoulder or the head. The permanent disability capital can reach €200,000, money for adapting a home, a car and a working life.
A short duathlon is won and lost in transition, so riders enter it far too fast. March often leaves the ground damp, cleats slip and bikes touch. Then comes the second run, the treacherous one, on quads that are already full: the stride collapses, the ankle turns, the tendon takes everything. Humid heat finishes the job.
The rest of the year is intervals on the track, road rides in open traffic and transition drills repeated in a car park. Those hours are where your real exposure sits. Year-round duathlon insurance covers that training the same way it covers race day, whatever country you are in.
A short, sharp March event combining a run, a bike leg and a closing run, with about eight kilometres covered on foot. The field of roughly two hundred is made up largely of club athletes and local runners used to the format.
A short event packs its risk into a few hours. We insure all of your competitors through a single policy, licence holders or not. Our medical assistance line answers day and night throughout race day, and repatriation is included. We can also back your duathlon as a partner, anywhere in the world.
