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.

Strong finishes for triathletes at World Triathlon Development Regional Cup
Two young Bahamian triathletes recently showcased their skills at the 2024 World Triathlon Development Regional Cup in Bucco Bay, Trinidad and Tobago. Launy Duncombe and Malcolm Menzies proudly represented The Bahamas, both delivering impressive performances.
Malcolm Menzies had an outstanding race, securing third place with a swim time of 10:07, a bike time of 33:43, and a run time of 19:36. His total time of 01:04:16 put him just two seconds shy of second place, and 13 seconds from the top spot, an indication of what’s to come of his talent at such a young age.
Launy Duncombe also made waves with a commendable sixth place finish. He completed the swim in 9:43, the bike segment in 33:16, and the run in 24:08, finishing with a total time of 01:08:54.
