Athletes and fans will cash in from the generosity of DeSincoTrading Limited which has signed on as a premium sponsor for the Kares CrossFit Caribbean Championship.
Chief Executive Officer of Desinco Trading Limited, located at 48 Sheriff Street, Campbellville, Alicia DeAbreu, made the disclosure when she handed over a financial contribution to Organising Committee Member, Jamie McDonald.
The eagerly awaited fixture is set for April 15 and 16 at the National Aquatic Centre and the National Park.
Apart from the cash donation, DeAbreu shared that the company will be rewarding athletes with gift bags whilst fans attending the event will also benefit.
“We will be setting up a special spectator booth where we would be having some exciting mini-competitions and those who win, will be rewarded with attractive prizes. So, we are encouraging all to come out and enjoy the competition as well as take part in the fun games that we would be putting on.”
McDonald expressed thanks to DeAbreu and her company for their support and partnership which he stated, would add to the overall success of the event which will attract competitors from six Caribbean nations including Guyana.
The competition will get cracking on Saturday morning at the National Aquatic Centre from around 06:00hrs with a 150m swim, followed by a two-mile ride on a stationary (echo) bike after which, the athletes will then compete in a 3-mile run from the Aquatic Centre to the National Park.
They will then enjoy a two-hour break period before battling it out to see who will lift the heaviest back squat. That will be it for day one with more intense workouts set for Sunday at the National Park from 12:30hrs.
General admission is $1000 with VIP tickets will cost $5000 and can be obtained from Fitness Express on Sheriff Street, Kares CrossFit, or Lotus Hardware Store on Broad Street. Children Under-12 would be admitted for free.
