For travel insurance to be valid in your country of residence you must spend at least 2 nights away from home. You may find the Sports Accident Insurance policy is more appropriate for less than 3 days (2 nights) away in your Country of Residence.

Our travel insurance is only valid if purchased before you start your trip, and the dates selected above cover the full duration of your trip. If you have already started your trip or would like cover for a short period within your trip, you can purchase Activity Topup insurance while you are travelling, provided you have valid travel insurance in place.

Where are you travelling to? Country:

I confirm that:

my trip has not yet started
my trip will start and end in my country of residence (as selected above)
the dates selected above cover the full duration of my trip
I am not planning to travel to a country or area to which the FCDO are advising against travel or against all but essential travel, unless otherwise agreed in writing

If you are unable to confirm yes to these bullets points, do not take out this policy as you will not be covered. If you already have general travel insurance (E.g. from your bank) for your trip and just need additional cover for an activity or sport, our Activity TopUp insurance policy would be more suitable. Call or email us if you have any queries.

More About Half Marathons

Half marathons are popular races for beginner runners looking to take on their first challenge, as well as club and experienced runners seeking to push down their finish times. As with all distance running, the appropriate training is crucial, and training distances should be built up over time before the race.

Half marathons are classed for us as a sport of low risk. It is really important however to warm up and stretch properly before a race to minimise the risk of injury.
