Payment terms & ways to pay
- A registration deposit secures your slot. The deposit differs by edition — it's shown with that edition's price and confirmed in the secure checkout before you pay.
- The balance is completed on the payment schedule set in the WeTravel checkout, and full payment must be completed before November 15th of the year before the race, for racers and companions alike.
- If slots remain after December 10th, last-minute racers may enter by paying the full amount in a single transfer.
- Transfer and bank fees are not included — please ensure the full amount reaches TCC in Costa Rica.
Ways to pay
Register online through our secure checkout, or pay by Wise or direct bank transfer. Write to us on WhatsApp and we'll walk you through it, step by step.
WeTravel also offers optional travel protection (via Trawick International) right in the checkout — a convenient way to meet the race's mandatory travel-insurance requirement.
