Ice speedway is not your average holiday activity. It's motorcycle racing on a frozen oval track, with studded tyres used for grip on ice. It's a specialist motorsport and, when you take part abroad, it's typically as an amateur rider in organised practice sessions or amateur race events, rather than anything professional.
ActivitySure travel insurance can cover amateur ice speedway overseas, provided participation meets the policy conditions. Because you're combining speed, motorbikes and ice (a trio nobody has ever called low risk), it's worth having suitable travel insurance in place before you get anywhere near the start line.

Destination Insight
Where is popular for ice speedway?
Ice speedway has strong roots in Russia, where frozen tracks and dedicated venues make it a well-known winter motorsport. Events often draw local crowds and are run as structured competitions with clear rules and safety oversight.
It is also popular in parts of Scandinavia, where winter conditions support the sport and riders train and compete through clubs and organised meetings. Travellers usually take part through scheduled sessions or arranged events rather than casual drop-in rides.
Here's why ice speedway travel insurance matters:
Riding a motorbike on ice increases the chance of losing traction, sliding out or colliding with other riders. Studded tyres and sharp components can also increase the risk of cuts and impact injuries in a fall. Medical treatment abroad can be costly, and injuries can quickly derail the rest of your trip. Travel insurance helps protect you financially if you need medical assistance or support.
Helpful travel tips
- Wear appropriate safety equipment, including a helmet and full protective clothing, as required by the organiser.
- Always follow organiser instructions, safety briefings and track rules without exceptions.
- Keep a safe distance from other riders, as falls often happen in packs.
- Reduce speed into bends and focus on smooth control rather than late braking heroics.
- Do not ride in poor visibility or deteriorating ice conditions where grip and track edges may be harder to judge.
Frequently asked questions
Yes, ice speedway can be covered by ActivitySure, but it must be added to your policy as an activity. It isn’t covered under Winter Sports.
If ice speedway is shown on your policy, emergency medical expenses can be covered if you’re injured while taking part. You should only ride in an organised and supervised setting, should follow all event rules, and must wear the required safety equipment.
No. ActivitySure can cover you while taking part, but it does not insure the motorcycle, repairs, replacement parts, track fees, racing equipment or damage to anything used for the activity.
No, cover for personal liability does not apply to claims caused by your use of a mechanically propelled vehicle. You may still have emergency medical cover if ice speedway is listed on your policy, but liability for injury or damage caused to someone else or their belongings while riding would not be covered.
No. Cover is intended for amateur participation. Paid racing, professional events, or taking part under professional sporting terms would not be covered.
Only amateur participation may be considered, and you’ll need to make sure the correct activity has been selected. Professional racing, paid competition, or contracted participation wouldn’t usually be covered.
