Travel Insurance for Marathons

Soup Dragon

Am running Prague marathon in May and trying to sort out travel insurance. There seems to be a big range of prices and many don't include marathon running in their standard cover. Have found the link below quite good and cheap, but does anyone else have any recommondations please?

Thanks for any comments or suggestions.

My Lloyds TSB current account (£15 per month) covers my mobile phone, gives me AA cover and travel insurance. I wrote to them specifically asking about marathons etc and they told me I was covered as long as I was not an elite athlete.

Thanks for this. I'm most definately not an elite athelite and my husband is a lloyds customer who's also running so will check it out.

Insure & go standard travel policy covers marathon running and whole lot of other sports.

The account I have is a platinum. If you are a business customer you can haggle a bit off the £15 (perhaps I should not be telling you this). I got it downed to £10 for the first 6 months with a bit of haggling.
