Water entries and exits happen on sharp limestone, sometimes carpeted with sea urchins. A foot or calf wound infects quickly in warm sea water and needs cleaning, stitches and antibiotics. Your medical costs and hospital stay are covered after the accident.
Between two swim sections you are a long way from shore, and Atlantic swell punishes a cramp or a mouthful of water. Assistance and repatriation are covered at actual cost, from the safety boat to your own home if your condition demands it.
A paired, timed swimrun is official competition, and recreational policies usually leave it out. The Competition option covers your Saint-François number and the whole season behind it, from open-water recon swims to Sunday trail runs.
One head-first fall onto a submerged rock changes the whole picture, and a spinal injury on this coastline rarely heals cleanly. The permanent disability capital funds long rehabilitation, home adaptation and a change of profession if that becomes the only realistic route for you.
Swimrun tires the body in its own way. You leave the water with cold legs, run coastal paths in flooded shoes, then dive back in short of breath. Cut feet, ankles twisted on loose rock and heat exhaustion tend to arrive in the second half, when the trade wind no longer cools anyone down.
The discipline is practised year round in open water and on coastal trails, often alone and far from any lifeguard. A yearly swimrun insurance policy covers training as well as racing, in France and abroad, whatever country you live in, instead of buying cover one event at a time.
The SwimRun des Châteaux stays a human-sized race, with one long course and one discovery format, and a field of locals and visitors drawn by the warm water. Keep these practical details in view before you enter and before you travel.
You send pairs out on two courses, with repeated water entries and safety boats to coordinate. We insure your participants through a single sign-up. A medical team stays reachable day and night while the race is on, repatriation is included, anywhere in the world. We can also be a partner of your race.
Yes. A wound caused by the reef, an urchin or a bad exit from the water is a personal accident. Cleaning, stitches and follow-up treatment if it becomes infected fall under the medical costs guarantee.
Alternating swims and runs multiplies the risk zones: rocky entries, swell between buoys, body cooling, then slippery coastal paths covered in waterlogged shoes on legs that are already spent.
Yes. The yearly policy covers training as much as racing, including open-water sessions and course reconnaissance, in France and abroad, whether or not anyone else is with you.
No. This is not a cancellation policy, so the entry fee, flights and accommodation stay with you. It responds to the bodily consequences of an accident during the activity itself.
It depends on the duration, the guarantees you keep and whether the Competition option is added. The AxeoSport online quote returns an exact figure in a few minutes, with no commitment.
