ROSEAU, Dominica (April 28, 2026) – The Tasty Treasures Heritage Relay was officially launched on Sunday, April 12, in Delices, introducing a new relay-style experience set for August 1, 2026. The event blends running and baking while supporting initiatives in education, agriculture, tourism, health and sports.
The relay will open with the White River Leg in Delices, where teams will follow a structured route anchored along the White River. Coordinated food experiences will be integrated throughout the course to enhance the overall experience. Participation is open to individuals and teams from across Dominica and the wider Caribbean.
“This initiative is intended to generate opportunities, particularly in the South East, by engaging a wide cross-section of business personnel, including shopkeepers, roadside vendors, farmers, fishermen, tour guides and hoteliers, alongside runners on the route. It brings people together through activity and cuisine while supporting youth and community development,” said Founder Shirlyn James Graham.
Teams of nine will compete for EC$6,000 in prizes, including awards for Fastest Runner, Most Creative Team and Most Disciplined Team. Each registered team will receive breakfast and branded T-shirts. Patrons can also purchase a Creole breakfast for EC$30, with other traditional delicacies available for sale. Raffle tickets, priced at EC$10, offer a chance to win EC$1,000 in catering services from Tasty Treasures.
Registration is now open at a promotional rate of EC$700 per team until June 15, 2026, increasing to EC$900 after that date. Registration forms are available at Tan Tofi Store, located at 10 Marlborough Street in Roseau, opposite the Discover Dominica Authority.
Proceeds from the initiative will support House of Hope in Delices, Chances in Jimmit and St. Martin Secondary School. The relay follows the completion of an essay competition in March and forms part of a broader effort to engage participants through both creative and physical expression.
Organizers are encouraging early registration as preparations continue for the August 1 event in Delices. For registration and additional information, interested persons can contact the organizers.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.
