{Exclusive: Sun Run seeks terrorism insurance in aftermath of Boston bombings}
Vancouver Sun RunBy Bob MackinWed Apr 17, 2013 4:30pm PSTThe provincial organization that oversees the sport of road running in B.C. is shopping for terrorism insurance ahead of this weekend’s Vancouver Sun Run, following Monday’s Boston Marathon bombings.Three people died and more than 170 were injured in the two bomb blasts around the finish line of the 117th race.“Terrorism is an exclusion under the general liability insurance policy,[url=http://www.moncler-sale.org]moncler on sale[/url],” BC Athletics president Brian McCalder told Business in Vancouver. “We have been asked by [Vancouver Sun publishing company] Postmedia to secure a quote for coverage for terrorism and we have made that request to our insurers.”McCalder said he anticipated the premium estimate would be “extremely high,[url=http://www.moncler-sale.org]moncler outlet[/url], if any insurance company would provide it.”All Sport Insurance and SBC Insurance are the accident and liability insurance providers for provincial sports organizations.Also this Sunday,[url=http://www.moncler-sale.org]moncler sale[/url], the Virgin London Marathon is set to be the first major mass-running event since Boston,[url=http://www.moncler-sale.org]discount moncler jackets[/url], but the later 10-kilometre Sun Run expects 10,000 more runners than the 36,000 participants expected in London.McCalder said BC Athletics has not been involved in emergency planning for the Sun Run, but is represented on the organizing committee for technical issues and elite athlete involvement. He said the legacy of Boston could be higher policing and security costs for organizers of events big and small.“We're hoping it’s not going to have a negative impact on event organizers, because in our sport – track and field,[url=http://www.moncler-sale.org]moncler down jackets[/url], road running and cross country running – there are hundreds of those events happening throughout the year,” McCalder said.“Our sport (has) a history of being safe, with the event organizers being very diligent of safety and security of officials and coaches. We are certainly going to remind our event organizers to do their due diligence, to be in contact with their authorities in their cities or event venue owners to be sure they're compliant and do a review of their own emergency plan should that ever be necessary for their event.”Registration fees for the 1985-launched Sun Run range from $20 for early birds up to 18 years to $60 last-minute adults.Organizers are urging Sun Run entrants to wear yellow and blue – the colours of Boston Marathon organizer Boston Athletic Association. BC Athletics has pledged that $10 from every late entry since the blasts will be donated to a fund for the victims and their families.More than 46,000 people are already signed up to the Sun Run. In 2012,[url=http://www.moncler-sale.org]moncler down jackets[/url], it counted 48,[url=http://www.moncler-sale.org]moncler outlet[/url],904 entrants. Registration surged on Monday and Tuesday at a combined 1,[url=http://www.moncler-sale.org]moncler sale[/url],[url=http://www.moncler-sale.org]moncler on sale[/url],656 – nearly double the same period in 2012.The Sun Run begins in the heart of Vancouver’s financial district on West Georgia between Seymour and Thurlow, with overflow onto Alberni. The finish line is at BC Place stadium.BMackin@biv.com@bobmackinTags: emergency planning, BC Place, Vancouver,[url=http://www.moncler-sale.org]discount moncler jackets[/url], London, Vancouver Sun, insurance
