Our Duathlon Insurance policy options
Put simply, we offer three different policy options…
1. Travel Insurance
We provide a Sports Travel Insurance policy for those requiring cover for taking part in a duathlon whilst abroad, whether that be for leisure or competition. We include cover for medical and repatriation costs, trip cancellation, plus more.
2. Travel Insurance Bolt-On
If you have an existing travel insurance policy in place with another provider, such as your bank, but it does not include cover for taking part in duathlons, we can provide a bolt-on style of protection for your trip under our Activity Top-Up policy.
3. Sports Accident Insurance
If you are taking part in a duathlon within the UK and require liability or income protection, our Sports Accident Insurance might be suitable for your needs. You can get an instant quote and buy all three of our policy options online in minutes.

Why do I need Duathlon Insurance?
Whilst the risk of an accident happening during a duathlon is small, if it does, you could find yourself at a financial lose.
For example, get injured abroad and the cost of receiving medical assistance could run into the thousands. With a comprehensive Duathlon Insurance policy in place, such instance would be covered.
Given that a duathlon involves cycling and running, you might be taking a bike and some equipment with you. Should these items get stolen, lost or accidentally broken, your Duathlon Insurance policy will cover the cost to replace them.
