What race directors say

Human Potential Running Series team

I have used both RRCA and USATF to insure my events (I have 12 and most on state and federal land)...and choosing Nicholas Hill has been the easiest and most cost effective of the three. Highly recommended.

SBR Fun Events triathlete

I had less than seven weeks to prepare for an event, and using Nicholas Hill Insurance made it so race insurance was one thing I didn't have to stress about while I launched my first year event...Everything was handled by email, and pricing was transparent and fair.

IRONBULL Ultra Trail

Nicholas Hill Group has been incredibly responsive on questions for our events. Additionally, their platform has been very easy to generate certificates of insurance for additional insureds.

Wicked Wilson Gravel Race

I used Nicholas Hill Group last year for a gravel race and they were super responsive and helpful. Hopefully I'll never have to find out how good they are to work with on actually making a claim ;) But if it's anything like the support I received on the front end I'm not concerned at all. They seem very professional!
