President Marie-Louise Coleiro Preca was presented with a donation of €2,550 for the Malta Community Chest Fund by Colours of Malta managing director Davide Cachia. The money were the proceeds of the first Golden Bay Sprint Triathlon held at the Radisson Blu Resort Golden Sands.

Some 111 athletes took part in the triathlon which included a 750-metre swim, a 20-kilometre bike ride and a five-kilometre run.

The event was conceived by Cachia, in collaboration with Island Caterers Ltd, JUGS Malta and Tappintomalta Ltd.

The first five men and first three women to finish the race were awarded monetary prizes ranging from €200 to €50 by the President. Some of the winners donated their prizes to the MCCF.
