On Sunday February 25th 2024 BAARK! (Bahamas Alliance for Animal Rights & Kindness) will host its eleventh triathlon on Jaws Beach.

This year the event will welcome participants from the USA and Canada as well as many local Tri-athletes. Caribbean Bottling Company (CBC), local producer and distributor of Coca-Cola products, will be the presenting sponsor of the event for the tenth time with sport drink “Powerade”.

“The Powerade Potcakeman Triathlon is delighted to be working with Powerade again as our presenting sponsor for the tenth consecutive year,” explains Laura Kimble, Baark! President and Event Director. “Their ongoing support has been vital to the success and growth of our event in becoming the biggest triathlon in The Bahamas. Rehydration is extremely important when competing in endurance events so we are very pleased to have high quality hydration options like Powerade and Dasani available for all athletes again this year.”

“As a company we are deeply invested in the local community, aligning with Baark! was a natural fit for us” says Marketing Director, Caribbean Bottling Company, Jonathan Thronebury, when asked about the company’s commitment to supporting BAARK! “Baark!s commitment to animal welfare directly resonates with our values of compassion and responsibility. Furthermore, Baark! s emphasis on education and outreach empowers communities to become proactive in animal care and population control, thus creating a ripple effect of positive change.”
