Another weekend, another canceled event due to weather (UTCT 35k).
Time to revive the topic about event insurance.
Is it possible to get some sort of personal insurance? I've searched the hub, but couldn't find a definite answer.
Fortunately I reside in the Republic of Cape Town, so it's not like I wasted accommodation and travel fees. But these events aren't cheap - you hardly get races below R1,000 nowadays. And don't forget about the nutrition (for training to the event as well as race day). Also, this not my first cancellation, a I've experienced a lot of these over the past couple of years.
Problem is, most of the event companies cover their tushies well in the T's & C's. Some even make an extra Rand or two through substitution policies and waiting lists. But let's not go there now...
Back to topic, is it possible at all to self insure? Incl. for medial reasons?
