Triathlon Event Insurance

Our insurance policy product will include all of the elements you are liable for at your event(s), not just the sports being undertaken at the event. You may have a post competition music celebration, or perhaps food and drink offering, maybe even a fun fair! If it is taking place at the same event(s), you will need disclose this during the quote process for our consideration. Any activities, services and facilities provided and managed by third party contractors, will require their own insurance.

It depends on the activities at your event(s). Those activities that are defined as contact sports or involve increased endurance considerations can sometimes exclude cover for participant injury, however this will be disclosed to you at quote stage if you select an activity the insurer is unable to cover participant injury for.

Yes, given that your event involves physical participation in an activity, there is an insurer requirement to document appropriate considerations when it comes to the associated risks involved.

No, there are no age limits on our Sports Events Insurance.

We can insure a variation of sports and activity events, including running, swimming and triathlon based endurance events. Please ensure you provide as much information about your event as you can, within your application of insurance, so that underwriters can consider your event appropriately.

We are only able to provide cover for events taking place within the United Kingdom.

Our policy is designed to cover events organised by UK based individuals and organisations. Therefore, if you are not based in the UK, we are unable to offer cover.

We cannot recommend which level of cover you need for your event, but if you are hiring a space from a Local Authority or another third party we advise you to check with them whether they require a minimum level of Public Liability.

You should take out your One Off Event Insurance policy as early as you can. By purchasing your cover at the earliest opportunity, you are giving yourself the maximum protection against cancellation. If you require cancellation cover, you need to give at least 14 days notice to purchase this cover, you will be unable to buy cancellation cover within 14 days before the start of the event.

If you have anyone working for you, whether they are paid or otherwise, you legally must take out Employers’ Liability. The only exception is if those staff are bona fide sub-contractors with their own Public Liability of at least £2 million.

For your policy’s Cancellation cover to come into effect under the Adverse Weather clause we require either a health and safety official or appropriate emergency authority to certify that it is dangerous or reckless to hold the event. We may require you to provide photographic evidence and Met Office records in the event of a claim under this benefit.

Yes we can offer cover for an event even in the week it is happening. Please note that for any events taking place within fourteen days, there will be no Cancellation Cover.

Yes, if you’re planning to have a firework display we can consider providing you cover for this event. There are two event types available, these are fireworks and bonfire displays provided by yourselves (the insured) and those displays provided by professional third party pyrotechnical companies, whom have their own insurance to provide fireworks and/or bonfire displays. Please make sure to apply for the correct one depending on which on applies to your event.

Yes, we can consider cover for non appearance of key person(s). This may need to be considered by ourselves prior to giving a definitive answer and a quotation but you can opt to enquire about this during the quote process by selecting Cancellation Cover and then the Non-Appearance extension within this cover.

Any independent stallholder, exhibitor or tradesman that works, sells or exhibits at your event should hold their own Public Liability Insurance. Our Multi Event Insurance policy is designed to cover you as the event organiser for your Liability.

If you have your own stall at events, then take a look at our Stallholder Insurance policy.

Yes, we can consider cover for non appearance of key person(s). Opt to enquire about this during the quote process by selecting Cancellation Cover and then the Non-Appearance extension. Cover will be considered on a case by case basis.

Yes, we have a list of ‘Hazardous Activities‘ that we are unable to cover on this policy.

If there will be any third parties exhibiting or trading at your event who will be engaging in any of these events, they must have their own Public Liability insurance in place.

We can cover equipment you use for your event excluding motor vehicles, money, perishable goods and paintings, whilst they are in use at the event and in transit to and from the event only.

If you are the event organiser then we can provide cover for events lasting up to 30 days in duration. If you will be attending as a stallholder, we can provide protection for a single event that lasts up to 14 days.

If you have any volunteers or paid staff at your event then you will need Employers’ Liability as a legal requirement. We would expect all sub-contractors to have their own insurance.

Yes, our One-Off Event Insurance is suitable if you have been asked to purchase public liability insurance by the owners of a venue or local authority. Public Liability considers claims for third party property damage, so the venue you have hired for your event, as long as it’s not your property, can be considered as third-party property.
