The Bahamas Triathlon Association (BTA) was formed in the 1980's and has been dormant for a number of years. It became active again since 2015 and from that time we focused on the development of the sports in the country. We want to expose the World to our triathlons and our Triathletes to the world. There are currently between six and eight events a year throughout The Bahamas.
The association is open to all ages regardless of experience, background or ability. We are an inclusive and welcoming, supporting beginners through their first triathlon alongside more experienced athletes - many members have gone onto represent the Bahamas in international age group races, IronMan, Caribbean and CARIFTA Championships.
