“YOUR ONLY LIMIT IS YOU”

The Battle to CARIFTA is here! “Your Only Limit Is You” is the phrase coined by the host club, Star Trackers Track & Field Club, to embrace the partnership with the Local Organizing Committee (LOC) of this year’s CARIFTA Games.

The best of the best in The Bahamas will take center stage with hopes of meeting the qualifying marks for the 50th Edition of The CARIFTA Games scheduled to take place April 7th -10th at the Thomas A. Robinson National Stadium.

Twenty (20) athletes have qualified so far for the Games with the list expected to grow this weekend adding to the field that is expected to challenge Jamaica this year as the top country in the region in athletics.
