FOR the fourth consecutive year, Coca-Cola is supporting the Sunshine Insurance Race Weekend. And this year all participants can be hydrated with Dasani water during the Susan G Komen Race for the Cure and Marathon Bahamas.

For months people around the world have been preparing for the Sunshine Insurance Race Weekend right here in the Bahamas and, of course The Coca-Cola Company is no different. For the fourth consecutive year Caribbean Bottling Company (CBC), local producer of Coca-Cola products, is supporting the largest race weekend in the country. Dasani, the locally produced Coca-Cola purified water, will be the official water of both the Susan G Komen Race for the Cure 5K and Marathon Bahamas.

“Marathon Bahamas is now in its seventh year, and it has truly grown into the premier racing event in The Bahamas,” said Dwayne Swaby, vice president of development at Sunshine Insurance. “This would not have been possible without the support of local corporate partners, such as Caribbean Bottling Company who for the past four years has been a great sponsor. With their assistance we have hydrated hundreds of participants, and will do so again this Race weekend with Dasani.”

“Offering race options for all age groups, and fitness levels (from the 5K – a full marathon), the Sunshine Insurance Race Weekend truly is a premier race event,” said Cara Douglas, marketing manager at Caribbean Bottling Company. “It offers a wonderful platform to encourage activity and community development. For this reason we are very happy to support this ever growing event, and hydrate all participants with Dasani throughout the weekend.”
