Running Event Insurance
Specialist Insurance for Trail Runs, Fell Races, Ultras, and Organised Running Events
From remote mountain routes to multi-day endurance challenges, the world of organised running events comes with a unique set of risks. Whether you’re planning a trail 10K or a technical ultra across wild terrain, we understand the demands placed on organisers — and how to build insurance that protects you, your volunteers, and your participants.
Who We Cover
We provide tailored cover for a wide range of running event organisers, including:
- Trail and fell race organisers
- Mountain and ultra-distance events
- Timed and multi-stage endurance challenges
- Mass-participation trail races
- Navigation-based or unsupported events
- Events involving camping or overnight stays
- Commercial and community-led operators
We support events from large operators as well as smaller independent organisers and local trail series — from single-day races to multi-day mountain challenges.
What We Offer
Running events present unique operational, logistical, and participant risks. Our insurance packages are designed to account for the environments and structures you’re working in. Cover options include:
- Public & Employers’ Liability
- Participant Accident & Injury Cover
- Event Cancellation (incl. weather cover)
- Property & Equipment Insurance
- Professional Indemnity
- Volunteer & Marshall Cover
- Camping, Bag Drops & Checkpoints
- First Aid & Emergency Response Liability
We can also support events using tracking, navigation or timing systems, and those working in partnership with national parks, landowners, and local councils.
Why Lime Street?
Our team understands that running events are often held in exposed, challenging environments — and that even the most experienced organisers face unpredictable conditions. We don’t rely on off-the-shelf cover. We tailor insurance specifically to your event setup, route, and exposure.
Whether you’re a commercial operator or a community-based organiser, we’re here to give you confidence your event is properly protected — so you can focus on delivery, not risk.

Testimonials
“It’s been great working with Laura from Lime Street on our new policy. For an insurance broker, her knowledge on our business as a skatepark and education setting is great. Knowing that she knows what she is talking about gives us the confidence to know that we have got the best cover. The communication from her has been great too and I know that if I have any questions, all I need to do is pick up the phone. To add to this, I have no issues referring Laura and Lime Street onto any other business owners I know as I am extremely confident she will provide the same amazing services to them as she has to us.”
“We recently switched to Lime Street Brokers and couldn’t be happier with our decision. Their competitive pricing, attention to detail and deep understanding of our industry that truly set them apart. The insurance policy they tailored for us perfectly meets the specific needs of our business, giving us complete peace of mind. Their professionalism and expertise have made the entire process seamless. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, industry-focused insurance solutions!”
“Even though Lime Street Brokers is a new company, I have worked with Laura for the last few years. The reason I have stayed with Laura is because I can see that providing the right insurance for her clients really matters to her. This allows me to have full trust in her. I’ve needed climbing wall insurance for the last 15 years and in that time I have never come across a broker like Laura. She regularly checks in to make sure everything is ok and if any laws change that may affect me, she will get in touch to let me know. All in all, I know I’m in safe hands.”
“Always a pleasure to work with the team at Lime Street, knowledgeable, efficient, and most important of all our premiums have come down considerably as a result of their efforts, Thank You.”
“We’re thrilled to share our experience with Lime Street Brokers as our climbing insurance provider. From the very beginning, their team demonstrated an impressive understanding of the unique challenges and risks associated with running a climbing centre. They guided us through every step of the process, ensuring we had the right coverage tailored to protect both our business and our climbers. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Thanks to Lime Street Brokers (and in particular Laura from their Sports and Leisure division), we now operate with the confidence that our centre is fully protected, allowing us to focus on what we do best – creating an amazing climbing experience for our community. We’re incredibly grateful for their support and highly recommend them to any climbing centre looking for a reliable insurance partner!”
