Athlete Meals Program

During the Penn Relays, Team Jamaica Bickle prepares and serves nearly 2,000 traditional Jamaican and Caribbean meals daily to athletes, coaches, and staff — ensuring every competitor is properly fueled to perform at their best.

Athletes are served a sumptuous fare each day: Ackee Saltfish, Callaloo, Jerk Chicken, Fish, Curry Goat, Banana, Hardough bread, Yam, and more. Roti and other Caribbean dishes have been added to the menu as the program has grown to serve athletes from across the Caribbean.

Maintaining a proper diet is vital to optimal athletic performance. TJB ensures athletes don't have to adjust to unfamiliar food while competing abroad — a small but meaningful advantage that makes a real difference.
