Why Ultra Race Insurance is Ultra Important
With the number of ultra race marathons increasing over the last decade, we now have over 15,000 events which take place worldwide. Given the intense nature of the sport, there are a larger number of potential risks that ultra race event organisers must consider and protect against in order to ensure that their ultra race event is sufficiently covered with bulletproof Ultra Race Insurance.
This guide is for race organisers who are looking for information on securing the perfect Ultra Race insurance. If you are a participant looking for personal travel insurance for races abroad, please view our dedicated page.
Ultra Race Risks
Due to ultra races being much longer than the traditional marathon and varying from 35 miles to 100 miles, the possible risks and complications surrounding the event are much greater. With many ultra race events also continuing throughout the night, the risk of trips and subsequent injuries is increased. When you also add sleep deprivation, dehydration and gastrointestinal distress into the mix, avoiding issues of any kind just seems impossible. As well as an increased likelihood of participant claims against injury or ill health, there are also risks surrounding bad weather and the possible cancellation of the event. With all of this in mind, the need for high-quality cover in the form of Ultra Race Insurance is imperative.
What Is Usually Included in Ultra Race Insurance?
A basic policy for Ultra Race Insurance should typically include:
● Public liability
● Event cancellation
● Employer’s liability (inc. volunteers)
The precise cover needed depends on your specific insurance requirements as well as the level of cover you select.
Things to Consider with Ultra Race Insurance
Before fully committing to the purchase of any kind of insurance cover, careful consideration must be given to both the insurance supplier and the policy. Terms and conditions should also be scrutinised in order to ensure that the policy is fit for purpose and provides adequate protection.
