Medical Certificate

if worst comes to the worst just run with the pack and enjoy the race route...

Yes I have an annual policy for off piste skiing, climbing, running, Sailing etc but it doesn't include Racing.

Indeed, in general most 'normal' good insurance policies cover recreational sports activities within certain criteria (designated zones, qulified guides, etc) but not 'competition' - you'd generally be paying a higher premium to include racing. Naturally, on average the risks to the average person are higher when you are racing.

Interestingly I have to pay out £90-£100 every 2 years for an Offshore Medical examination as part of certifiction to work offshore (rigs), but I have never thought about whether it would cover me for other things too. Maybe I'm missing a trick - must bring it up next year and take along my UTMB form.
