Private Health Insurance for Race Walking Athletes

Competing in Race Walking? Discover the most common injury (Tibial stress fracture) and how private health insurance from Insured Health can protect your career and income.

The most common injury in Race Walking is Tibial stress fracture — and NHS waits for treatment can stretch to 18 weeks. We get you seen within days.

NHS waiting times are costing athletes their careers

An ACL repair, shoulder reconstruction, or stress fracture that needs an MRI can sit in an NHS queue for months. For a competitive Race Walking athlete earning from the sport, that wait isn't just frustrating — it's career-ending.

Private cover that moves as fast as you do

Insured Health connects you to private consultants, diagnostic imaging, and surgical teams typically within 48–72 hours of making a claim. You choose your specialist and your timing — so recovery fits around your season, not a waiting list.
