Supertri League to Launch 2025 League Season in Toronto With First-Ever Canadian Race

May 27, 2025

LONDON, UK, MAY 27th /ENDURANCE SPORTSWIRE/ – Supertri, the global leader in short-course triathlon, is expanding its global footprint with the confirmation that the Toronto Triathlon Festival will host the opening race of the 2025 Supertri League season on July 26th, 2025. This milestone marks the first time a Supertri League event will take place in Canada, welcoming the world’s best triathletes and Olympic stars to Toronto for a high-octane start to the new season.

The event will take place as part of Supertri’s first year running the Toronto Triathlon Festival, bringing Supertri’s world-class athletes and high-intensity race format to the heart of the city for the first time. Known for redefining the sport with its fast, technical, and spectator-friendly racing, the Supertri League will kick off its 2025 season on the streets and waterfront of downtown Toronto, setting the stage for a thrilling global series.

Michael D’hulst, Co-Founder and CEO of Supertri, said:
“We are excited to launch the 2025 Supertri League in Toronto. The Toronto Triathlon Festival is the perfect place to begin our season – an iconic event with deep roots in the community and a course that offers the kind of dynamic racing our athletes and fans love. This is a major step in our mission to grow Supertri and establish a strong and lasting presence in Canada.”

The Toronto Triathlon Festival, held annually since 2012, is a celebrated event that transforms the city into a triathlon playground, featuring a 1.5K swim in the sheltered waters of Ontario Place, a 40K bike course on closed highways, and a 10K run along Lake Shore Boulevard and the Gardiner Expressway. Now, for the first time under the By Supertri brand, the festival will also play host to a Supertri League professional race – bringing together elite and everyday athletes on the same weekend with the pros racing on Saturday and the amateurs on Sunday, and raising the bar for triathlon in Canada. For the first time, Supertri will bring Olympians to Canada to kick off their 2025 Supertri League and race to win points for the individual and team titles.

“I’m thrilled that Supertri has recognized the many values of hosting such an important international event in Ontario,” said Neil Lumsden, Ontario’s Minister of Sport. “More organizers are choosing our province because they know this is where sport thrives at every level, and I encourage everyone to come out this summer and see these incredible Olympians and triathletes in action. Congratulations to the Toronto Triathlon Festival whose long history has helped bring Supertri to our province.”

Supertri League is known for its innovative formats, team-based competition, and broadcast-ready storytelling, attracting the world’s top short-course triathletes and captivating fans globally. The Toronto race will be the first of several League events in the 2025 calendar, with further race locations to be announced soon.

Toronto joins Toulouse and Chicago as one of the races announced for the 2025 Supertri League so far:

• Toronto – 27th July
• Chicago – 23rd August
• Toulouse – 5th October

Additional Supertri League 2025 race locations will be revealed soon.
