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.
