Event Insurance
When participants purchase registrations, they are excited about their upcoming event, but unexpected circumstances can happen. RegShield lends peace of mind by reimbursing the cost of their registration price, should they be unable to attend their event due to several covered reasons including accident, illness and family emergency. Although consumers purchase through the RunSignup website, RegShield is a third-party entity, and all plan-related questions should be directed to FanShield via the following channels:
-
Domestic: help@fanshield.com
-
Outside U.S./International: help@fanshield.com, or help@insuranceinsight.ca for Canadian customers

REGSHIELD REFUND REQUEST PROCESS INFORMATION
How does a consumer file a refund request?
Filing a refund request with RegShield is easy. We recommend selecting the “File A Refund Request” at the bottom of the confirmation email. Alternatively, the consumer can visit the web page below: https://www.fanshield.com/file-a-refund-request
For the best experience, it is recommended that a desktop or laptop computer, rather than a mobile device, be used when filing a refund request.
To qualify for a reimbursement (U.S.) or refund (International), all requests require supporting documentation as proof that the covered reason (“peril”) occurred. Required documentation is determined by the peril for which the consumer filed. For example, a doctor’s note would be required for a refund request relating to accident or illness. If a refund request is filed for a covered peril and contains the correct documentation, the refund will be approved, and the consumer will be reimbursed for the covered amount on their plan.
How long is the refund request process?
Once a refund request and appropriate documentation is submitted, the process takes approximately 5-7 business days.
How long does a consumer have to file a refund request?
For a domestic plan, the refund process must be initiated within 30 days of the first occurrence of a covered reason. For an international plan, the refund request must be made within 45 days of the event.
