THE countdown is on for the 12th Annual Baark! Powerade Potcakeman Triathlon, set to take place on Sunday, March 30, 2025, at Jaws Beach. This highly anticipated event will bring together athletes of all levels for a thrilling day of swimming, cycling and running in support of a great cause.
Over the years, this fun-filled family event has become a staple and much-anticipated highlight on The Bahamas’ annual event calendar. Baark! is delighted to have Powerade as their presenting sponsor for this event for the 11th consecutive year.
Jonathan Thronebury, director of marketing, Caribbean Bottling Company, said: “we are excited to reaffirm our role as the presenting sponsor of the Baark! Powerade Potcakeman Triathlon. Baark’s focus on community health and wellness - promoting education and the well-being of both animals and individuals - perfectly aligns with our values. Through our Powerade brand, which champions active lifestyles, we are proud to support this fundraiser by providing premium hydration solutions for athletes and spectators alike.”
The sprint-distance triathlon will challenge participants with a 750m swim, a 12-mile bike ride finishing with a 5K run. Athletes can take on the full triathlon solo or team up with friends and family to compete as a relay team. For younger competitors, the event also offers the FYP Puppy Tri, featuring shorter distances tailored to juniors and kids.
All finishers will be rewarded with a custom-designed medal and adult participants can look forward to a refreshing Surfside drink, along with a delicious burger or hot dog courtesy of the Rotary East’s famous burger van.
Young athletes will be treated to a special post-race treat from Dunkin’ Donuts.
