What is the payment schedule? 

At the time of booking an initial deposit of $1,000 USD per runner and $500 per traveler/spectator is due. Final payments are due before April 30, 2025 and automatically charged on April 30, 2025. Payments can be made at any point by logging into your account and making another deposit. FIT is happy to set up an additional automatic schedule for you, please let us know. Any accounts where a payment defaults at the final payment deadline, will be contacted and have 5 days to make the final payment. After that time, reservations will automatically be cancelled without refund.

What are the cancellation terms?

The initial deposit per person is non-refundable including any deposits submitted for extension tours. If you have paid an amount over the required deposit, any refunds will be honored less a $50 admin fee. After the final payment deadline of April 30, 2025 program costs are non-refundable. Where and if possible, FIT will do our best to help offset cancellation penalties should you need to cancel in the future (not guaranteed). We highly recommend purchasing travel insurance to protect your travel investment.

Can I book Port Douglas and/or extra nights in the future? 

Absolutely! We know travel plans can change based on what you want to do next year - and of course who wants to join you for this celebration & travel weekend. You can always return to your booking and add an extra guest, extra pre and/or post-nights, and the extension trip to Port Douglas (which we highly recommend) if space is still available (not guaranteed). These additional travel options are based on first come, first serve availability until sold out.

If I am traveling with a friend / family member that is not running, how do I book their reservation? 

Excellent question! If you want a room with 1 bed (i.e. share a bed) - Select 2 Double Packages and add-on 1 marathon entry. If you want a room with 2 twin beds, you would select 2 Twin Packages &Add-On 1 marathon entry, etc.

Total packages in both examples equals two.

If I am traveling with a friend but we each want our own invoice how do we book? 

You can each make a reservation on your own via the booking portal. Make sure you discuss beforehand what room type you want to book (superior deluxe, partial harbour view, etc). You can then each individually head to book. In this scenario, select 1 package each, runners will select an entry add-on as needed, and head to check out. During the participant answer section you will highlight that you are rooming with the other individual and we will pair you together in one room. We only accept 1 package reservations for double and/or twin rooms if you have a friend or family signing up on the same day. We do not match runners in rooms together.

I am traveling alone but want to book the double and/or twin room?

Double and Twin Room reservation pricing are only applicable for two people sharing the one room. FIT does not match individuals in a room together, so if you are traveling alone you are eligible to book the single room option. If you find a friend, family member, or other runner in the future to share with you and we still have space, we can update your reservation to the share pricing.

Packages are sold as Single, Double, Twin, & Triple Packages. Entry is not included in the package pricing and must be added on by those looking to add a marathon entry. Entry is only provided along with a full travel package.

Max Entries Per Room Type: Single (1), Double or Twin (2), Triple (3)

All packages are priced per person.

Single: 1 Traveler / 1 King Bed

Double: 2 Travelers / 1 King Bed

Twin: 2 Travelers / 2 Twin Beds

Triple: 3 Travelers / 1 King + Sofabed + Rollaway

Example: If you are 2 people traveling sharing one room - you need to book a double or twin room x 2 packages when booking your reservation.
