Nedbank\u2019s insurance company has confirmed that it will once again provide free life cover to participants in this year\u2019s Nedbank sani2c mountain bike race, which starts in Underberg in KwaZulu-Natal on May 14.<\/p>\n

The company, which came on board as official life insurance sponsor to the event in 2012, will make 360Life policies available to every one of the 4 500 riders across the three-day Race (May 16 to 18), Adventure (May 15 to 18) and Trail (May 14 to 16) components.<\/p>\n

According to Nedbank\u2019s insurance executive Lance Blumeris, the policy included R500 000 worth of accidental death and physical impairment cover and would be valid for the month of May.<\/p>\n

Blumeris said riders could activate the policy on the official race website and would also have the option to upgrade to R1 million worth of cover at a nominal once-off premium before May 13.<\/p>\n

After the event, participants who wished to convert their cover to a standalone long-term policy could do so before the end of June without any underwriting, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cMountain biking is a very physically demanding and unpredictable sport. In partnering with the world\u2019s largest paired stage race, we hope to give riders peace-of-mind so they can concentrate on enjoying the route,\u201d said Blumeris.<\/p>\n

Last year, two Trail riders were tragically killed in a motor vehicle accident as they were returning home to Johannesburg. Blumeris said Nedgroup Life had been able to assist their families by paying out the policies on these riders.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe may not be able to take away the pain felt by a client\u2019s loved ones but we can help in practical ways by providing cover for everything from death and disability to critical illness and income protection.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said the 360Life policy was designed to be flexible and to adapt to a client\u2019s changing needs and circumstances.<\/p>\n

According to race organiser Glen Haw, the policy was just another way in which the race and its sponsors provided a holistic experience for riders.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnything that\u2019s good for our riders is good for the race. Looking after the total well-being of our participants and ensuring a safe and exciting experience for everyone is what the event is all about.\u201d<\/p>\n

Haw said initiatives such as this were a win-win situation for the organisers, sponsors and riders alike.<\/p>\n

The 270km event, which is presented by Nedbank Private Wealth, traverses southern KwaZulu-Natal and finishes on Scottburgh\u2019s main beach.<\/p>\n
