Which events are included?

Eligible UK events in the Maverick Race Gravel, Trail and X-Trail series. You can use the allowance across standard individual entries, up to £150 in total per policy year, subject to availability and the full terms.

Does it cost me anything?

No. Best Insure and your adviser are free to use — the insurer pays the adviser's commission — and your premium is the same as going direct to the insurer. The race-entry allowance is an additional benefit.

When can I use my allowance?

Your first allowance becomes available after your private medical insurance policy has been in force for three consecutive months. It then renews on each policy anniversary while your eligible policy remains active and premiums are paid.

What if I'd rather not race?

That's fine — the offer is optional, unused allowance does not roll over and there is no cash alternative. You'll still get the same comparison and free advice on your health cover.

Does the policy cover race injuries?

Cover for sports injuries varies by insurer and policy — some include musculoskeletal and physiotherapy pathways as standard, others as an add-on, and pre-existing conditions are usually excluded. Tell your adviser that you trail run so they can compare suitable policies.

Why health cover and trail running belong together

A reason to keep exploring

Maverick's Gravel, Trail and X-Trail events give runners of different experience levels a goal in the diary. Regular training supports cardiovascular fitness, strength and mobility.

Cover for when training bites back

Rolled ankles, knee pain and back strain can interrupt race preparation. Private medical insurance can provide access to physiotherapy, scans and consultant appointments, subject to your policy terms.

Fast diagnostics keep you racing

Most health policies include rapid access to MRI and ultrasound scans plus musculoskeletal pathways, and many insurers add remote GP appointments, sports physio and rehab as standard or as a low-cost add-on.

Run for a cause

A Maverick event can be a motivating fundraising challenge. With up to £150 available towards entries, you can focus your fundraising on the cause that matters to you.

Insurers reward active people

Several UK insurers price and reward healthy lifestyles — gym discounts, wearable-linked rewards and cashback on activity. Your adviser will flag the insurers whose rewards match how you actually train.

Something to show for shopping around

Comparing health insurance through Best Insure costs you nothing extra — and an eligible policy brings up to £150 towards Maverick race entries in every policy year.

0 of 6 answered

1. Are you a UK resident aged 18 or over?
Policies are arranged for UK residents only, and the entry is paid to the policyholder.
2. Are you looking to arrange new private medical insurance?
New policies and switches from another insurer both count. Renewing an existing policy you already hold with the same insurer does not.
3. Happy for our FCA-regulated adviser to arrange the cover?
The adviser searches leading UK insurers. Advice is free to you and your premium is the same as going direct.
4. Will you keep the policy in force for at least three months?
Three consecutive months of paid premiums, so we know the policy is genuine.
5. Would you like to enter an eligible UK Maverick race?
Choose from eligible Gravel, Trail or X-Trail events, with up to £150 available per policy year.
6. Are you fit and able to take part, or will you check with your GP first?
Trail running is at your own risk and subject to the organiser's health declarations.
