What is jogging?
Jogging means running at a steady, comfortable pace for exercise or enjoyment. It can form part of your usual fitness routine or simply be a way to explore the local area while you are away.
Is jogging covered by travel insurance?
Jogging is included as a standard recreational activity on many travel insurance policies offered through Direct Travel.
Included activities vary between policies, so select jogging when getting your quote and check that it appears on your Policy Certificate or policy documents. Organised races, marathons and other competitive running events may require a different activity.
Things to remember:
- Check that jogging is included with your chosen policy
- Choose a well lit route suitable for pedestrians
- Wear comfortable shoes suited to the surface
- Take water in hot or humid conditions
- Tell someone your planned route if jogging alone
What can travel insurance help with?
If you’re injured while taking part in insured jogging, emergency medical expenses and repatriation can be covered, subject to the terms and limits of your policy.
Depending on the policy selected, cover may also be available for cancellation, curtailment, personal belongings and other travel related problems. Personal Accident and Personal Liability cover can vary, so check the applicable Policy Wording.
Activity FAQs
Is jogging included as a standard activity?
Jogging is included as standard on many policies. Check the included activity list for your chosen policy and make sure jogging appears on your policy documents.
Does jogging cover a marathon or organised race?
No. Jogging refers to recreational exercise rather than organised or competitive running. Select the appropriate running or marathon activity if you plan to enter an event.
Can medical expenses be covered if I am injured?
Emergency medical expenses can be covered if jogging is shown on your policy documents and the claim meets the policy’s terms and conditions.
Can I get cover if I have a medical condition?
Pre existing medical conditions are considered separately from activity cover. Declare them when getting your quote, as cover is subject to medical screening and acceptance.
Cover is subject to the terms, conditions, limits and exclusions of your policy. Check that jogging is included with your chosen policy and appears on your Policy Certificate or policy documents. Read the applicable Policy Wording before taking part.
