This insurance is a supplemental agreement to cover non-participation in the Green Hell Triathlon race due to serious illness or circumstances. The insurance shall be taken simultaneously with sending in your application form. Insurance against non-participation is not possible at a later point of time!  Under this insurance, we offer non-participants the opportunity to start at the same distance of Green Hell Triathlon in one of the next two years (no additional payment necessary even if the registration fee should rise in the years to come!), if the applicant in question can bring poof of the following reasons making his participation in Green Hell Triathlon impossible:

 1. The applicant is suddenly afflicted with a serious illness
 Severe health impairment following an accident or disease, or decease of the registered applicant. A disease or health impairment is considered severe, if it is definitely impeding participation in Green Hell Triathlon (e. g. fresh bone fractures, different forms of cancer, which have only been diagnosed after application for Green Hell Triathlon). A common cold and all sorts of influenzal infection, muscular dysbalance and the like are not consider as severe health impairment. 
 Psychiatric diseases, that are only detected after Green Hell Triathlon application, and that require in-patient treatment and/or treatment by a specialist doctor of psychiatry.

Application for compensation must be accompanied by: Clinical confirmation of in-patient treatment or psychological appraisal composed by a specialist doctor of psychiatry.
 
 
2. Pregnancy of an applicant
 is a reason for compensation, if pregnancy is only detected after Green Hell Triathlon application. If pregnancy was known before the date of Green Hell Triathlon application it is not accepted as a reason for compensation.
 
Application for compensation must be accompanied by: Copy of an equivalent to the German mother-child booklet (Mutter-Kind-Pass).


3. Decease of relatives or severe health impairment following an accident 
 is a reason for compensation, if the applicant’s presence in his or her home town is urgently needed. The term ‚relatives’ includes married partners (or partners in life / cohabitees sharing the same household), children and parents.
 

Application for compensation must be accompanied by: Medical certificate for the person suffering health impairment.
 
 
4. Important damage to applicant’s property

Application for compensation must be accompanied by: Police report or similar official confirmation of damage including description of the severity of damage. Insurance confirmation of damage.
