Sure you’re an experienced long-distance runner. However, by not taking out the right insurance policy, your trip can quickly skid out of control. If you break a bone, fall ill or find yourself at the mercy of a cancelled running event (due to unforeseen circumstances), your travel insurance may help you get you back on track by covering any costs incurred. Yippee!
Your travel insurance policy may also cover you for:
Medical expenses should you fall over and break an arm and need to go to hospital. Travel insurance will ease the pain by covering your medical fees, doctor’s appointment, X-rays and medication you require.
Personal liability should you cause damage to another person. Travel insurance provides protection in the event you are found to be legally liable for causing harm to another person. Watch your step when running in a crowd in any case!
Repatriation You would be covered in the event that you were to seriously injure yourself while running and needed to be brought back to your home country for medical care.
Cancellation costs Your prepaid travel deposits may be covered in the event that you are unable to travel or participate in your event due to unforeseen circumstances like serious injury or illness.
Theft of cash if your wallet is pickpocketed Theft can put a dent in your trip but travel insurance will cover you for any lost or stolen items and in some cases, reimburse your stolen too.
Loss of passport Imagine it, you’ve finished your run, about to head to the airport when your passport is nowhere to be found. Hold on to your hydration sachet as your travel insurer will cover the cost of organising an emergency passport.
The nature of long-distance running can put your body under immense physical and mental strain. Even minimal health issues such as blisters, muscle aches and joint pain can set you back when you're running for hours at a time. And the risk of severe injuries during the race itself are not uncommon. All these possibilities could put some pressure on your purse strings should you require medical treatment overseas!
Trying to find a policy that covers you for long-distance running events overseas doesn't need to leave you breathless. Before you jet off on the holiday of your dreams, think twice before settling on the cheapest policy you find. The wrong policy can cost you far more if it doesn’t fit your needs. Be sure to compare policies, do plenty of research and make sure you have adequate cover.
Whether you’re doing a fun-run, speed trial, triathlon or endurance race, sprint to comprehensive travel insurance for ultimate peace of mind.
