Insurance for the MdS
Your registration fee does not include insurance against cancellation etc. We recommend that you do arrange your own insurance. You must ensure that any insurance you take out will cover the MdS (as it is an extreme event) and you will also want to confirm that the policy excess, e.g. for cancellation in case of pre-race injury or failed medical, is not too excessive.
This is a list of insurance providers that previous competitors have used in the past. There is no guarantee the policies they offer are still suitable - check the policy before you buy it, and re-check the detailed policy/conditions after you take the insurance. Remember that you will have a short period in which to reject the policy in return for a refund.
Note that for insurance purposes, Morocco is usually covered under the European rates, rather than Africa or Rest of World. This should of course be confirmed with the individual insurer.
- British Mountaineering Council - you need to be a member, but both the fee and insurance are reasonable
- Dog Tag - Insurance for action-minded travellers
- HBC Insurance - offer an adventure policy, but apparently revised the policy to not cover pre-race injury.
Known not to cover the MdS: Tesco, Media Cover.
