Marathon Event Insurance
Excellent and very friendly service. When I needed to amend my cover, it was done swiftly and efficiently with my documents sent across immediately.
SportsCover Direct are always very easy to deal with. They answer the phone quickly, are there when I want to make amendments, and always call back if they need to get back to you. All in all, I would recommend them without hesitation.
As always ordering was smooth, seamless and excellent value. Even completing medical condition declaration was easy unlike a lot of other sites.
Great to be able to speak to someone quickly, without being on hold for ages. Knowledgeable staff understood what they were doing and not reading from a script.
The insurance is exactly what I needed. Easy to use website, and when I emailed in a few questions I got rapid responses which were clear and comprehensive. What a great company to deal with!

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.
