The Powerade National Torch Relay is set to ignite the excitement for the athletics competition as it was launched today, marking the start of the highly anticipated school athletics season in Fiji.

This event is a significant moment as it also marks the 50 years of partnership between Coca-Cola Fiji and the Fiji Secondary Schools Athletics Association.

The Coca-Cola Torch relay is scheduled to begin today and will travel to Naova for the Ovalau Zone meet in Levuka, Lomaiviti tomorrow.

A longstanding tradition, the torch relay symbolizes unity and the spirit of competition among student-athletes nationwide.
