You can use credit card payment or online transfer to most banks. There is also an option to generate a completed bank transfer form. You can save or print this form at home.

However, we cannot guarantee receiving a shirt in the chosen size. Shirts are distributed based on the size indicated in the registration form, without the possibility of changing the declared size during pickup, until stocks of that size are exhausted. If the chosen size is unavailable, the participant will be offered an alternative available size.
