Thousands of walkers and runners, from around the Bahamas and the world, took part in the 2020 Sunshine Insurance Race Weekend, on Jan. 18-19. The Caribbean Bottling Company (CBC) returned as a proud Gold sponsor, for the eight consecutive year, to hydrate them all with Dasani water, during the two-day event.
In addition to providing Dasani still water for all of the Susan G. Komen 5k participants as well as the Marathon Bahamas runners, CBC served up the new Dasani Sparking Lime, Berry and White Peach Flavors. A number of CBC’s team members were also on hand to help distribute water and to cheer on the participants.
“Our team had an amazing time, as always, keeping everyone hydrated and refreshed throughout the entire race weekend” said Nikia Wells, CBC Communications Marketing Manager. “We were happy to be back on board as a Gold Sponsor for the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure 5k and Marathon Bahamas. We cannot believe that it has been eight years already, since we started supporting the races, but it is always exciting to see so many people, from all fitness levels, age groups, and backgrounds taking part, raising funding for breast cancer awareness and pushing themselves on race day. We are also proud to be able to take part in an event that honors and celebrates breast cancer fighters and survivors.”
Sunshine Insurance Race Weekend organizers noted that they were extremely happy to have CBC and Dasani back as a Gold sponsor for the race weekend. They added that with any athletic event in the Bahamas, especially one on the scale of the race weekend, it is vital to keep participants hydrated. Over the past several years, CBC has supported a number of Bahamian race and athletics events, around the country, including the Bahamas Half Marathon, CARIFTA, Outrun Hunger, CIBC Walk for the Cure, the Atlantic Medical Fun Run Walk, Run for Pompey and the upcoming Powerade Potcakeman Triathlon on March 29.
