Powerade will once again fuel triathlon participants on March 29 at BAARK!’s (Bahamas Alliance for Animal Rights & Kindness) eight annual Powerade Potcakeman event. The Caribbean Bottling Company (CBC) will return as the proud title sponsor for the seventh consecutive year, and will hydrate athletes throughout the race, taking place on Jaws Beach.

The Powerade Potcakeman Triathlon is one of the largest triathlon events in the Bahamas, with over 200 participants from around the world. Athletes will swim, bike, and run during the event, and all proceeds will be used for BAARK!’s animal education and spay/neuter programs in the Bahamas. 

CBC will also have a team taking part in this year’s race. Andrew Hanna, Karla Wells-Lisgaris, and Philip Rolle will bike, swim and run, respectively. Hanna, Wells-Lisgaris and Rolle are all no stranger to the annual event, and have each competed prior.  

A BAARK representative noted that they are delighted to have Powerade back on board as a presenting sponsor for the Potcakeman Triathlon. They added that CBC’s ongoing financial commitment has helped tremendously with the growth of the event over the years, and that the athletes really enjoy having both Powerade and Dasani available for all their rehydration needs during and after the race.

 “At Caribbean Bottling, we believe in the mission of BAARK!” noted Nikia Wells, CBC Communications Marketing Manager. “They help hundreds of animals, each year, through their work and education initiatives. We are happy to support their efforts and look forward to keeping all of the athletes hydrated at this year’s Potcakeman event.”

The Potcakeman Triathlon sprint consists of a 750m swim, 12-mile bike, and 5km run. Athletes can choose to compete in all three disciplines, or via relay team. For more information on the race, please visit http://www.baarkbahamas.com/potcakeman/.
