Motocross Track Coverage

Special Event & Race Liability

A race weekend concentrates risk: more riders, bigger crowds, promoters, sponsors, and sanctioning rules all in a few days. Special-event and race liability covers that heightened, time-boxed exposure — whether you host your own events, run a series, or rent your facility to an outside promoter.

01

Why events need their own coverage layer

Your annual track policy covers ongoing operations, but a sanctioned race, a one-day open, or a points-series round raises the exposure for a short, intense window: peak attendance, more riders on the track, alcohol and concessions, vendors and sponsors, and contractual requirements from sanctioning bodies. Special-event coverage answers that concentrated risk. It can be written as a one-day or multi-day event policy, as coverage for a full series, or coordinated with your annual program so there's no gap between your day-to-day coverage and the weekend that puts the most people and the most pressure on your facility.

02

Promoters, sanctioning bodies, and additional insureds

Events involve more parties than ordinary operations. Sanctioning bodies impose insurance requirements as a condition of running under their banner. Promoters, sponsors, title partners, and the landowner or municipality may all need to be named as additional insureds, with certificates issued in specific forms by specific deadlines. Getting this wrong can cancel an event. We handle the additional-insured endorsements and certificates that promoters and sanctioning bodies require, in the form and on the timeline they demand, so the paperwork side of your event is as buttoned-up as the racing.

03

Hosting outside promoters at your facility

If you rent your track to an outside promoter, the lines of responsibility have to be clear. The promoter typically carries event coverage and names you, the facility, as an additional insured — but you'll want to verify their limits are adequate, confirm participant and spectator coverage is in place, and protect your own interest as the venue. We help facility owners structure venue/rental coverage and review incoming certificates so that when someone else runs an event on your dirt, your track isn't left holding a claim that should have been theirs.

04

One-day, multi-day, and series coverage

Events come in different shapes, and the coverage should match. A single open practice or one-day race can be covered by a one-day event policy. A weekend national or multi-day festival needs multi-day terms. A points series running across a season can be covered as a series rather than re-quoted event by event. We'll fit the structure to your calendar — annual program plus event endorsements for a track that races regularly, or standalone event policies for occasional or one-off events — so you're covered correctly without paying for coverage you don't use.

05

Participants and spectators on event day

Event day amplifies the two core liability exposures: more riders means more participant exposure, and bigger crowds mean more spectator exposure. Special-event coverage is structured to carry both through the event, coordinated with your participant and spectator coverage so there's no gap when the gate is busiest. We make sure your event terms, limits, and the underlying participant and spectator coverage line up, because the day you have the most people on the property is the day a coverage gap would hurt the most.

Why Contractors Choice Agency

We insure a track the way it actually operates.

The motorsports-facility specialty division of Contractors Choice Agency — licensed in all 50 states, covering the riders, the crowd, the events, and the crew.

We cover the riders, not just the property

Participant injury is the exposure that sinks tracks, and standard general liability excludes it. We lead with participant liability and accident-medical so the people on your track are actually covered.

Race-day limits that hold up

A points round can put thousands of fans on your fence line. We structure spectator liability and high-attendance limits for the days that matter, not just a quiet practice session.

Built for promoters and sanctioning rules

We write event and venue coverage that satisfies sanctioning bodies, landowners, and municipalities — with the additional-insured endorsements and certificates promoters have to produce.

Specialty motorsports markets, fast quotes

We place tracks with surplus-lines and motorsports carriers that price off-road risk correctly instead of declining it — and turn quotes around in a day, because your season doesn't wait.

Answers

Special Event & Race Liability — FAQs

Straight answers to the questions track owners and promoters ask us most about this coverage.

It's coverage for the heightened, time-boxed risk of a motocross event — a one-day open, a multi-day race, a series round, or an amateur national. Events concentrate exposure: peak crowds, more riders, alcohol, vendors, and sanctioning requirements, all in a short window. Special-event coverage answers that concentrated risk, either as a standalone event policy or coordinated with your annual track program.

It depends on what your annual policy includes. Some annual track programs build in event coverage; others cover ongoing operations but need event endorsements for sanctioned races or large events. Either way, the goal is no gap between day-to-day coverage and your biggest weekends. We'll review your annual program and add event coverage or endorsements where your race calendar needs it.

Yes. One-day and multi-day event policies are available for single races, opens, or festivals, which is ideal for facilities that host occasional events or for promoters running a one-off. For tracks that race regularly, an annual program with event endorsements or series coverage is usually more economical. We'll recommend whichever structure fits how often you run events.

That's exactly what it's built to do. Sanctioning bodies impose specific insurance requirements — limits, coverages, and additional-insured status — as a condition of running under their banner. We structure event coverage to meet those requirements and issue the certificates and additional-insured endorsements they demand, in the form and on the timeline required, so your sanctioning isn't held up by an insurance problem.

Yes. Events routinely require promoters, sponsors, title partners, sanctioning bodies, landowners, and municipalities to be named as additional insureds with certificates issued in specific forms. We handle these endorsements and certificates as a normal part of event coverage so all the parties to your event are properly covered and your agreements are satisfied.

Typically the promoter carries the event coverage and names your facility as an additional insured — but you should verify their limits are adequate and confirm participant and spectator coverage is in place before the gate opens. We help facility owners review incoming certificates and structure venue/rental coverage so that when someone else runs an event on your property, the responsibility (and any claim) stays with them, not your track.

It's structured to carry both through the event, coordinated with your participant and spectator coverage. Event day means more riders (participant exposure) and bigger crowds (spectator exposure), so we make sure your event terms, limits, and underlying coverages line up. The busiest day on your calendar is the worst possible day to discover a gap, so we close those gaps before the event.

As early as you can — sanctioning bodies, promoters, sponsors, and municipalities often require certificates well before the event, and rushing the paperwork risks a problem at the worst time. Call 844-967-5247 or request a quote as soon as your event is on the calendar, with the dates, expected attendance, sanctioning, and parties who need to be named. Quotes are free and carry no obligation.
