The 2nd annual event takes place March 22-24th in Treasure Cay, Abaco, and includes a 1-mile open water swim, Sprint and Olympic triathlons (in both individual and relay events), a kids' 1-mile run and a 5k/10k fun run/walk. The scenic destination of Treasure Cay, Abaco, encourages both tourists and locals alike to attend. The courses are flat, the beaches and waters are gorgeous, and the roads are smooth, making for an ideal location for the races.

Proceeds from the event will go to benefit two local charitable organizations. The Rotary Club of Abaco works with various organizations and charities and is working on their 2013 mandate, Peace through Service. Friends of the Environment works to protect and preserve Abaco's environment for future generations.
