IRONMAN has confirmed that Triathlonguard is the Official Triathlon Insurance Partner across all IRONMAN events in the UK, in a two year deal.
Triathlonguard insurance was designed specifically for triathletes and consequently offers flexible cover options, allowing triathletes to tailor their cover by customising their policy to match their needs, with an added instant online quote system making it easier to get insured.
The partnership welcomes Triathlonguard to IRONMAN from immediate effect for the next two years until 2017. Triathlonguard will be the Official Partner of all UK IRONMAN events which include: IRONMAN 70.3 Staffordshire, IRONMAN 70.3 UK, IRONMAN UK and IRONMAN Wales.
Thomas Dieckhoff, CEO IRONMAN Europe said “We are delighted to welcome Triathlonguard on board. Their partnership is integral to our athletes and it is fantastic to be able to offer this service knowing that they are getting the right cover and level of service we are proud to be associated with.”
Adrian Scott, Head of Triathlonguard added, “Insurance should form a key part of all athletes’ race kit. Unfortunately incidents do happen, whether it’s a crack in an expensive bike frame as a result of hitting a pothole, or a wetsuit tear from rushing out of transition. We understand the insurance needs of triathletes racing in the UK and abroad and are there to cover those unforeseen eventualities.”
Pro athlete Harry Wiltshire, is a Triathlonguard ambassador. He said, “Whether I’m out training or racing in the UK or abroad, having a specialist insurance gives me the peace of mind that if something were to happen I am covered. I’ve had my fair share of incidents from kit being stolen out of the back of my car, to a nasty crash in France last year whilst racing to qualify for the World Championships.
“Crucially being covered by Triathlonguard meant that they got it sorted swiftly and efficiently so I could get back in the saddle racing as quickly as possible.”
