By October the lake has lost its summer warmth, and a mass start in cool water sometimes produces blackouts or early hypothermia. What follows is an urgent exit from the water, a transfer and tests. Medical expenses of up to €150,000 cover treatment and any hospital stay.
Daylight is shorter at this time of year and the run uses gravel tracks and rocky paths. A rolled ankle a long way from any road turns into an awkward extraction. Assistance and repatriation at actual cost arrange the pick-up and the journey back home.
Natureman lands at the end of a long calendar of races and camps, and many athletes start building again weeks later. The Competition option guarantees official racing on this event and across the whole sporting year, not just one October weekend.
Verdon roads combine tight bends, loose gravel and sudden gusts of mistral. Leaving the road can leave a back or a shoulder permanently weaker, with a career that has to be reorganised. The permanent disability capital of up to €200,000 pays a sum that matters then.
October flatters athletes. Afternoons stay mild, but the lake is cold at dawn and the mistral can get up over the plateaux without warning. On top of that sits a season's accumulated fatigue: bodies are worn, cramp arrives sooner, and concentration slips exactly where the course turns technical.
An off-road triathlon is built on unforgiving ground, between mountain-bike hours, trail running and open-water swimming. Those training sessions add up to far more exposure than one race day ever does. Year-round triathlon insurance covers them alongside official competition, in France and anywhere you travel to train.
Natureman Var runs three formats around a turquoise lake, Verdon roads and dry trails. The XL suits long-distance specialists, while the M and S open the event to athletes who simply want to end their season on natural terrain.
You are staging an off-road triathlon with several formats and a field spread across water, road and trail. We insure all your participants through a single sign-up. Our medical assistance line answers day and night while you race, and repatriation is included. We can also be a partner of your event.
Yes, noticeably colder than in midsummer, and wetsuits are standard on this kind of start. Individual personal accident cover responds to the bodily consequences of an accident, including a problem that begins during the swim.
Yes. All three formats sit under the same guarantees. A shorter course is usually raced faster, over the same stony trails and narrow roads, so the risk of a fall is comparable.
Assistance takes on the evacuation from the place of the accident, even with no road access nearby, and then the journey home. Medical expenses then cover treatment, imaging and any hospital stay.
No. This policy is individual personal accident cover, not cancellation insurance, so entry fees, accommodation and travel costs stay with you. It answers bodily injuries, not withdrawals.
It depends on the length of cover you choose, the options you keep and how you train. The online quote gives an exact figure within a few minutes and commits you to nothing.
