As you know, from the 2004 to the organizers of road races we are required by the competent authority in each case, the City Council with respect to the capital of Castilla y Leon in the Province an accident insurance policy. Specifically
na applicable regulations contained in Annex II of Royal Decree 1428/2003 of 21 November by approving the Rules of the road.
This policy is mandatory for the organization of sporting events that require the use of public roads.
addition to this policy also requires us to present a quite cumbersome documentation. Aosciación
As you know the injury is hiring policies since 2004, without which it is possible to organize road races. Until the entry into force of these regulations is required Liability Policy, which is also now required in addition to the accident.
is therefore of paramount importance to any organizer to have both policies, or else be liable for any accidents that may occur during the competition Yet today still know about racing, "pirates" who do not meet these requirements and that with or without the knowledge of the organizers are risking the guy with the consequences that the death of a runner to take an example and that it has happened can lead to the organizer.
Once a broker told me that "do not pay the registration and even run without insurance I take responsibility for what might happen" to which I replied "and if nothing else, take the exit you have a heart attack and die "who is to blame for you" to which no reply.
By this I mean that it is very easy to say "it's going to happen" etc., but I think we all have to be aware of what can happen in a race whose most serious final result can be the death of a runner.
Even with all the right papers plantearese usually when that happens a lot problems with the naked eye can not discern.
So my advice as an organizer is that the first of which must be available today to organize a road race is a policy of accident and RC policy in order to have a certain security and tranquility, even considering that since this regulation applies the organization of a career has been enormously expensive and that some organizers and we are considering whether to organize or not to run for the high cost and economic risk for clubs and associations that implies.
The main reason that this legislation is in force is that many of the athletes who participate in these events have no federal license, this is an issue that I as president of the association and many organizers and begin to worry and so we have forwarded to the appropriate Regional Federations that do reach the English Federation, for perhaps no one has stopped to think that athletics is the only sport that allows the Actulamente compete without obligation be federated. What sport
know her where to compete is not required to be federated. None, really because as I say something so we should all strive for in the future does not raise these issues.
