Cross country running involves running over natural terrain such as grass, trails, hills and open countryside. Unlike road running, routes are often uneven and can vary depending on weather and landscape, making it a more physically demanding endurance activity.
ActivitySure can cover cross country running when youre taking part abroad, provided the activity meets the policy conditions. Because it takes place on natural terrain, suitable travel insurance is important before heading out.
