We provide marathon event insurance for many sporting competitions for marathons throughout the year spread around the world. The list below is a brief overview of some of the main marathon event insurance our customers take out cover for however we provide cover for many more!
The name Marathon originates from Greek legend, in which a Greek messenger ran from the battlefield of Marathon to Athens to announce the defeat of the Persians. The modern day marathon had its first event in 1896 at the Olympic Games in Athens.
To draw interest and popularity to the event the organisers drew on the ancient Greek legend and recreated the pathway in which the messenger had travelled – which was calculated to be 25.4 miles long. The event was so popular that it was given the name Marathon and the race was set at the distance of 25.4 miles, which since 1921 has been increased to 26.2 miles.
