Specialist Marathon Running Insurance

Marathons are popular participation sports, with top athletes competing alongside hundreds or even thousands of amateurs for whom personal triumph is more about finishing the race rather than winning.

Taking out specialist Marathon Running Insurance is important to cover yourself against potentially costly medical bills should you injure yourself whilst marathon running abroad.

 

Our Sports Travel Insurance covers you for all the usual running holiday benefits such as lost baggage and delayed flights, but also protects you for the marathon you enjoy while away.

We can also provide cover for the amateur marathon running in the UK too. Our Sports Accident Insurance provides cover for things such as broken bones and physiotherapy costs.
