FAQ

Yes, our insurance is designed for all marathon runners, whether they aim to break a world record or finish their first race. Whether you are undergoing intensive training with your coach or participating in prestigious marathons, our coverage protects you against bodily injuries.

While standard travel insurance provides general coverage for things like lost luggage or delayed flights, it often excludes sports-related incidents — especially those involving endurance events like marathons. Most basic travel policies do not cover injuries sustained during sporting activities, race entry fee reimbursement, or emergency evacuation from the event site. Marathon insurance fills those gaps by offering tailored protection for runners, including medical cover, accident benefits, and race-related cancellations. If you're travelling specifically to participate in a race, especially abroad, having marathon-specific travel insurance ensures you're properly covered for every stage of your running trip.

Our marathon insurance policies provide comprehensive coverage designed with runners in mind. This includes emergency medical treatment, hospitalisation, and repatriation in the event of an accident or injury. Policies also cover personal accidents, including permanent disability, as well as lost or damaged sports equipment. For competitive runners, we offer additional coverage for elite-level performance risks and high-value trips. Whether you’re taking part in a local charity run or a world-class event like the London or New York Marathon, our insurance ensures that both your body and your budget are protected from unexpected issues.

Yes — our insurance policies are valid for marathon events around the world. Whether you’re planning to run the Tokyo Marathon, the Berlin Marathon, or smaller international races, our coverage includes worldwide medical support, trip interruption, and emergency repatriation. We also offer optional extensions for runners travelling for training camps, running retreats, or endurance events combined with holidays. With Assure Ton Sport, you can lace up your shoes anywhere in the world with the peace of mind that you're covered against injuries, delays, cancellations, or medical emergencies.

If you experience an accident or need to file a claim, our 24/7 assistance hotline is here to help. After contacting our support team, you’ll be asked to provide relevant documentation — such as medical reports, receipts, or race registration details. We guide you step by step, ensuring your case is handled promptly and efficiently. Claims can typically be submitted and processed online, and many are resolved within just a few business days. Whether it’s a sprained ankle before race day or a missed flight to your marathon destination, we aim to make the claims experience smooth and stress-free.

Absolutely. We believe marathon insurance should be accessible for runners of all ages and experience levels. Our flexible policies include tailored options for youth athletes, first-time marathon runners, and recreational participants. Whether you're signing up for your first 10K or aiming to complete your debut full marathon, our plans ensure that you're protected during training, travel, and the event itself. Coverage can also include support for families travelling with junior participants or students enrolled in sports academies abroad.

Many injuries occur during the preparation phase, not during the race itself. That’s why our policies include protection for training-related accidents, including pulled muscles, stress fractures, and overuse injuries. Whether you're running daily in the park or preparing for a marathon with a structured training plan, you're covered if something goes wrong. Medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, and repatriation are included, so you can focus on recovery without worrying about unexpected bills or logistics.

Yes, our marathon travel insurance offers optional trip cancellation and missed event cover. If your plans change due to illness, injury, travel disruption, or other unforeseen events, we’ll reimburse eligible non-refundable expenses such as race registration fees, accommodation, or transport costs. Whether your race is cancelled by the organiser or you’re unable to attend due to a last-minute emergency, we provide financial protection and peace of mind. Be sure to review the terms and select the right options during your quote to match your travel and participation needs.
