Anton Robinson (First Citizens) celebrates his unprecedented trophy haul at the CariFin Games 2025 Prize Distribution Function, Thursday, August 21st, 2025, Central Bank 16th Floor Conference Facilities. Robinson dominated the men's running events, going unbeaten in both the Urban Challenge series and Cross Country "Best of 4" competition - proving that financial professionals can achieve athletic excellence while maintaining demanding careers. His multiple victories demonstrate that with commitment and consistency, even the busiest banking professional can transform from desk-bound to championship-bound. Robinson's success challenges the misconception that you need to be "naturally athletic" or have unlimited time to excel in fitness - instead showing how structured corporate athletics can help financial sector employees move beyond sedentary lifestyles to achieve recognition, build confidence, and inspire colleagues across Trinidad & Tobago's banking community.

🌟 From First Steps to Legendary Recognition 🌟

When Ruthven Kurbanali II of Unit Trust Corporation laced up for his very first CariFin Games, few could have predicted the impact he would make.

With determination and raw talent, he tackled the 1 Lap Savannah (18:00), the Green Mile (6:11), and the Chancellor Challenge (17:47) — pushing himself through every stride, every breath, every cheer from the sidelines. The result? A 2nd place finish in the Best of 3 Challenge 🏆.

But the story doesn’t end there. On the stage, as Ruthven received his prize, history seemed to meet the future. Standing before him was Curtis Cox — Trinidad & Tobago’s greatest road runner, a 4-time CariFin Cross Country Champion, and a Legend of the Games. The symbolism was powerful: a newcomer being recognized by a legend, a torch quietly passing from one generation to the next.

For Ruthven, this moment was more than medals and times. It was about making his family proud, bringing honor to his institution, and proving to himself that he belongs among the best. And while silver shines bright today, it’s also a promise — of improvement, recognition, and bragging rights still to be claimed.

✨ This is what CariFin is all about: dreams taking shape, legends inspiring new stars, and the journey to becoming more than you thought possible.

🏃‍♂️ Damian Joseph – Ministry of Finance (M*F)

For the second consecutive year, Damian Joseph stood tall on the CariFin podium — finishing 3rd in both the Best of Four (Male Runners) and the Cross-Country.

This isn’t just about medals or rankings. It’s about the dreams and goals that began in youth, the desire to push further, and the aspiration to carry your institution’s name with pride.

✨ Networking and camaraderie across the financial sector
✨ Walking with pride and distinction through discipline and consistency

The trophies and medals are symbols — but the real prize is the inspiration Damian gives to colleagues, teammates, and all of us in the financial services community who share the same burning desire to move, connect, and transform.
