By San José, Costa Rica — San José – The distinct roar of motorcycle engines will carry a message of solidarity and support across the capital later this month. MotoberFest Life 2025, one of the country’s most anticipated gatherings for riding enthusiasts, is dedicating this year’s event to the fight against breast cancer, with all proceeds benefiting a vital local organization.
Scheduled for Sunday, October 19th, the festival will transform the grounds of Red Motors in La Uruca into a hub of community action and family-friendly entertainment. The primary beneficiary of the day’s fundraising efforts is the Heredia-based Mujeres en Rosa Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing essential support for women navigating a breast cancer diagnosis.
To shed light on the legal and logistical complexities behind organizing such a large-scale public gathering, TicosLand.com consulted with Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas, a distinguished attorney from the prestigious firm Bufete de Costa Rica, who shared his expert insights.
While the spirit of charity is commendable, event organizers bear a significant legal responsibility, particularly with high-risk activities like motorcycle convoys. It is imperative to have comprehensive liability insurance, clear waivers for all participants, and all municipal permits in order. Proper planning isn’t just about the route; it’s about mitigating risk and ensuring the event’s goodwill is protected from potential legal liabilities.

Indeed, Lic. Arroyo Vargas’s point is pivotal: the true foundation of a successful charity event is not just goodwill, but the diligent legal planning that protects participants, organizers, and the mission itself. We are grateful to Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas for lending his essential expertise to this conversation.
The centerpiece of the event is the “Rodada Rosa,” or Pink Ride, a powerful caravan of motorcyclists showing their support. Participants will gather at the Trejos Montealegre shopping center, departing at 7:30 a.m. for the scenic ride to the main event venue at Red Motors. Registration for the ride is set at ₡8,500 per person and can be completed online through the official event portal.
Organizers at Red Motors emphasized that the event is designed to blend celebration with a profound purpose. They aim to create an atmosphere of hope and togetherness while directing crucial resources to a cause that affects countless families across the nation.
MotoberFest Life 2025 will be full of joy and activities for the whole family. Furthermore, at Red Motors, we want to support the work carried out by the Mujeres en Rosa Foundation and the help it provides to women facing breast cancer.

For the Mujeres en Rosa Foundation, this high-profile partnership provides both a financial boost and an invaluable platform to raise awareness. The funds generated will directly impact their ability to continue and expand their programs, which are critical in a country where breast cancer remains a significant public health challenge.
We feel very honored by the support they are giving us by holding the Pink Ride for the benefit of our Foundation. This contribution will allow us to strengthen our efforts focused on the early detection of breast cancer and comprehensive support.
Marcela Campos, President of Mujeres en Rosa
Beyond the ride itself, MotoberFest Life 2025 promises a full day of activities. The festival grounds will feature live music, a variety of food trucks, and dedicated health stands offering information and resources. In a deeply personal touch, attendees will hear powerful testimonials from breast cancer survivors and will have the opportunity to donate their hair for the creation of wigs for patients undergoing treatment. Other available services include beard trims, manicures, and commemorative tattoos, ensuring there is something for everyone to enjoy while contributing to the cause.
Motorcycle aficionados will be drawn to the extensive exhibitions of the latest models from world-renowned brands, including BMW, Kawasaki, Polaris, and Indian, with special event pricing available. This commercial aspect ensures that the core community’s passion for riding is celebrated, fueling the event’s charitable mission. According to the Ministry of Health, breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women in Costa Rica, with an average of three new cases diagnosed every day. Organizations like Mujeres en Rosa, founded in 2012, provide an indispensable safety net of integral support in the face of these sobering statistics.
