Why has the NZ 6 Day Ultra Marathon chosen X Cover?
The NZ 6 Day Ultra Marathon have chosen to offer Entry Protection Insurance to offer full protection for our competitors. Previously we have used a Refund Policy, which follows a timeline with decreasing refund amounts. There is also an immense amount of admin surrounding refunds and replying to refund requests. We are not able to provide full refunds to competitors due to the costs associate with the event.
By offering Entry Protection Insurance competitors have the ability to have full control over their money. They are able to enter with confidence that if the unexpected happens, then they will be able to receive a FULL REFUND.
NO REFUNDS ARE GIVEN UNLESS THROUGH X COVER
If you choose not to take out X Cover Entry Protection Insurance you must be aware that there are no other options to receive a refund. We strongly recommend you get cover for your entry.
How do I get X Cover?
When you go to complete your online registration, you will be given an option to insure your entry. If you select this option, you will then have the insurance fee added to your payment. Once you have entered and paid you will receive two emails - one from Event Plus which is your entry confirmation, and one from X Cover which gives you information around the refund protection and how to make a claim if required.
How much does it cost?
Entry Protection Insurance with X Cover adds 8% on to your entry fee. It gives you the assurance that you will be able to get a FULL REFUND if something unexpected happens.
