The Bahrain Victorious 13 Team is an innovative concept unparalleled in endurance racing and is the vision of His Highness Shaikh Nasser Bin Hamad Al Khalifa, chairman of the Supreme Council for Youth and Sports and president of the Bahrain Olympic committee. With an all-star stable of athletes including Olympic medalists, world champions, and future stars, the Bahrain Endurance Team will race for key long-distance triathlon titles and promote a culture of health and wellness and endurance sporting excellence across the Gulf region and beyond. Mana Sports and Entertainment Group with Chris “Macca” McCormack at the helm works on a consulting and operational level with Shaikh Nasser and the royal family of Bahrain, and is key in steering the Bahrain Victorious 13 vision. Mana Group consults on sports properties, sports media, and health and wellness and is the only player in the market that has proof of concept and real success. Mana Group was able to create the most successful triathlon brand almost completely based on online marketing and turn a sports start-up venture in Asia into a multi-million dollar mecca for sport in the region.
