Bahamas ready to host rescheduled NACAC Championships from August 15 in Freeport

The Bahamas: The much awaited 2025 North American, Central American and Caribbean (NACAC) Championships will be held in Freeport, from August 15 to 17. This large-scale track and field event will see in action top athletes from the various countries, as it marks the 5th edition of the senior level championships, following the previous 2022 edition.

The tournament which was set for June 7-9, 2024, was put on hold due to issues of logistics and calendar, which gave the teams more preparation time and also enabled The Bahamas to enhance its hosting aspects.

Notably, the 2025 edition promises a great line-up of track and field events, which will include sprints, hurdles, jumps, throws, and distance races.
