In March, wind funnelling up the estuary and passing showers make Liverpool's roads slick. One bad footfall can mean a broken wrist or a nasty sprain. Medical expenses up to €150,000 pay for treatment, X-rays, hospital stays and surgery after the accident, wherever you normally live.
Whether you've come over from Ireland, Scotland or mainland Europe, an accident may leave you unable to travel home alone. Assistance and repatriation at actual cost organise your evacuation from the course and your return home, with a medical escort if your condition calls for one.
The Liverpool Half Marathon offers a chip-timed half and 10K, two official formats that attract club runners and amateurs keen to test their spring form. The Competition option guarantees your race here, whichever distance you choose, then every official competition of your season.
In cold weather, muscles react more slowly, and a fall can cause lasting damage to a knee, hip or shoulder. The permanent disability benefit of up to €200,000 is paid according to the disability rate assessed after recovery, helping you adapt your home, work or leisure.
A March half near the Irish Sea is often a battle with the wind. Runners go off too fast with a tailwind, then tense up when it swings into their faces; hands get cold and judgement slips. On damp roads, late-race fatigue turns small stumbles into falls, and the last kilometres feel longer than they look.
Before March comes winter: runs in the cold, threshold sessions after dark, wet and sometimes icy pavements. Those weeks of preparation carry as much accident risk as the race itself. Our insurance for half marathon runners covers you in training and in competition, at home or abroad, whatever your country of residence.
Run each March in Liverpool, the port city in north-west England, the Liverpool Half Marathon offers a half marathon and a 10K on road. Around 8,000 runners take part, some chasing a spring target, others discovering a city that faces the Mersey estuary.
Putting on several distances in one morning? We insure all your participants, half and 10K alike, under a single policy. Medical assistance is reachable 24/7 throughout the event, and repatriation is included anywhere in the world. We can also be a partner or sponsor of your race.

No. This is not cancellation insurance: your bib, train, ferry and hotel are not refunded. The policy steps in after an accidental bodily injury, covering treatment, assistance, repatriation and any permanent disability.
It covers, at actual cost, evacuation from the place of the accident and your journey home by ambulance, train or plane depending on your condition, with a medical escort whenever doctors consider it necessary.
Yes. AxeoSport personal accident insurance covers you whatever your country of residence, at home and abroad. A runner from Ireland, Belgium or Britain enjoys exactly the same guarantees in Liverpool.
