Port-of-Spain, Trinidad, May 22, 2024: The 2024 Republic Bank Relay Festival took place on Sunday May 19, in partnership with the National Association of Athletics Administrations of Trinidad and Tobago (NAAATT). This festival comprised of athletes from four zones throughout the country, namely, North West, North East, South Central and Tobago. Athletes competed in both male and female relay races of different age categories, with the winner being determined by the team with the most points.
