Recoup hard costs in case of poor weather

Runners are a unique and tight-knit group that values community and helping each other achieve their goals. Marathons, half-marathons, 10k, and 5k races are popular outlets for athletes within that community. Although these races may continue in the rain, heavy downpours can make conditions dangerous or even deter participation. Vortex Weather Insurance policies can respond, even if there is only a small amount of rain.

Hourly Insurance for a single event/day

For your single-day race, you determine the hours that are most important to the success of the event and we'll offer quotes options for your review.

Multiple hourly events for several events/days

If you have a race series across an entire year, you select the dates, hours, and the amount of insurance needed and let us handle the rest.  

Tiered insurance limits

We can build insurance an insurance policy that offers smaller payouts if there is light rainfall with gradually increasing payouts as the rainfall amounts increase.  This way, a policy can still respond, even if there is only a small amount of rain.

Testimonials

Roadway Productions

“After producing events for 20 years, I decided to purchase weather insurance for the very first time. My first experience was with Vortex, and I have to say it was simple, straight forward, and paid out the very first time!  If it rains at your weather station more than the amount you buy, you get paid just like that!  I had the check within a week and a half!  I purchased another policy for the same event, and it rained again.  Just that easy I was paid out the second time I ever purchased rain insurance.  If you have any doubt, just contact me.  I feel safer knowing that I can cover my bills from the event if it rains.”
