Why is race walking insurance essential?

Race walking (20 and 35 km) demands a strict constant-contact technique, high hip mobility and long efforts on the road. This specific, repeated movement places heavy strain on the shins, hips and lower back, and the sustained load causes shin splints, stress fractures, lumbago and tendinitis. Even in training, the accumulated kilometres take their toll. A federation licence and standard contracts cover these accidents poorly, and the costs of care and rehabilitation add up.

A dedicated personal accident insurance takes over: medical costs, care, rehabilitation and disability are covered according to your guarantees, in training and in World Athletics competition. You can progress with a free mind.
