The Kares CrossFit Caribbean championship, set for April 15-16 at the National Aquatic Centre and the National Park, is gaining momentum from the corporate community.
According to a release, the organisers have confirmed that the event, which will see over four million in cash and prizes being handed out, has gained the support of Assuria and Builders Lumber Yard.
The two businesses have presented their sponsorship packages for the successful hosting of the two-day competition which will see in excess of 40 athletes including the best in the sport from six nations vying for supremacy.

Fiona Sooklall, Head of Department Assuria General, in presenting her company’s contribution to representative of Kares Caribbean CrossFit, Mary Fung-A-Fat, said that they are more than pleased to be supporting the event.
“This is an event that will showcase a high level of discipline from the finest athletes in the sport. The standard would be high and as a company, our standards are very high, so you see the nexus is there. We would like to wish all the athletes every success and while there would be a winner in the male and female categories, all the athletes are winners at the end of the day.”
Fung-A-Fat conveyed the appreciation of the organisers to Sooklall, noting that their partnership is well appreciated.
Meanwhile, Dorsel Bosan, Company Secretary of Builders Lumber Yard, also expressed delight at being able to be on board such an event.
“An event like this affords participants the opportunity to exhibit a high level of sportsmanship and passion as they aim to outdo each other to be the best. It does not come easy though, as lots of hard work and commitment would have to be put into getting their bodies in shape. As a company, we are fully supportive of the event and look forward to some exciting duals on April 15th and 16th. We wish you well.”
Fung-A-Fat also thanked Bosan for their support and assured that the duals would be of the highest quality, on both days.
Headlining Guyana’s challenge would be Dillon Mahadeo, the five-time Guyana Men’s RX CrossFit champion, while on the distaff side, three-time RX CrossFit champion, Delice Adonis will be throwing down the gauntlet to her Caribbean rivals.
The event will be hosted by Timeka Marshall, while tickets are already on sale at Fitness Express, Kares CrossFit, and Lotus Hardware.
General admission is G$1000; VVIP tickets will cost G$5,000, while children under-12, would be admitted free.
