A warning rant about RaceNation. I foolishly signed up to their race protection policy then tried to claim on it because I'm injured and cannot run the Bideford 10k. The refund procedure is deliberately time consuming and cumbersome, seemingly designed to wear you down. But worse they insist on a doctors certificate to prove that you are pulling out of the event. I tried explaining that because of COVID I hadn't visited a doctor. But they won't budge. What's more I can't find their terms and conditions anywhere. I'm sure it's illegal but I didn't fancy a legal battle with a company based in Jersey. ![]()
So bottom line, don't sign up to their cancellation policy.
