Individual Event Insurance typically covers approved medically related situations (see policy for details) but will not cover your registration fee if the event is canceled either by organizers or the government for incidents like COVID-19, inclement weather, etc. Any refunds requested and approved will be completed through the insurer.

The Detroit Free Press Marathon does not, and will not, refund any registration fees. All registration fees are non-refundable.
