Potcakeman Triathlon. - Caribbean Bottling Company’s sponsorship of tomorrow’s BAARK and PowerAde Potcakeman Triathlon has been designed to encourage the health of both humans and animals. Not only is it an athletic event (a 750 metres swim, 21.5km cycle and 5km run) encouraging Bahamians to go out and be active, the proceeds go to the Bahamas Alliance for Animal Rights and Kindness (BAARK).

The place of animals in the wider community and their contribution to the quality of human life in many ways is important and Caribbean Bottling, which has re-introduced their sports drink PowerAde to The Bahamas, is supporting efforts to quell the population of uncared for strays.

The triathlon takes place tomorrow at Jaws Beach and Clifton Heritage Park starting at 8am with the adults race followed by the kids race at 10am.
