March 5, 2026 /ENDURANCE SPORTSWIRE/ – Supertri Toronto will deliver even more opportunities for elite athletes with its Supertri Pro Series event hosting a stage of Triathlon Canada’s National Development Series.

Canadian elite athletes will race in the Supertri Pro Series field and be eligible for both the National Development Series podiums and rewards as well as Supertri’s. In addition, three athletes per gender will qualify for the Supertri Pro Series Final, which has a prize pool of more than $800,000.

Supertri Toronto will also feature a stage of the Triathlon Ontario Cup, to ensure elite development opportunities are widely spread.

Supertri has already announced that its Supertri Pro Series event at Blenheim Palace, the largest participation triathlon in the UK, will host a stage of the British Triathlon Super Series.

Triathlon Canada’s National Development Series is a pathway for development athletes to gain the skills and experience needed to progress from provincial draft-legal racing into successful continental racing. Athletes race to gain points and a maximum of four scores from the National Development Series are counted towards a final Series Ranking. The Triathlon Ontario Cup will target younger athletes and also offer ranking points.

“Providing high quality development race opportunities is a critical step forward that Triathlon Canada is taking with our partners in an effort to increase the talent pool and streamline success for Canada’s next generation of elite triathletes. Experience on courses designed for elite athletes, exposure to deep fields of their peers from across Canada, and access to systems that will teach them how to succeed on the international racing scene are essential to the progression of high-performance athletes,” said Rachel Macatee, interim chief executive officer, Triathlon Canada. “This Supertri event, as part of our National Development Series, accomplishes these goals for athletes in Canada. As a Regional Championship, this will be a critical race to generate National Development Series ranking points and qualify for the 2026 Elite National Championships in Victoria, B.C., in August.”

Supertri CEO and Co-Founder, Michael D’hulst, said: “Supertri has always offered incredible opportunities for elite triathletes to compete, and for up and coming athletes to get chances they wouldn’t be offered elsewhere. We have seen the biggest names in the sport come up through our racing and redefine professional triathlon. As we now bring our professional and amateur racing closer together to grow short course triathlon for all, we are delighted our excellent relationship with Triathlon Canada can generate this opportunity and add further to Supertri Toronto , which is a rapidly growing event we have huge ambitions for.”

Both the National Development Series and Triathlon Ontario Cup races will be part of the overall Supertri Toronto event, which offers amateurs the opportunity to compete on the same course and over the same distances as the elites.

Supertri Pro Series events are draft-legal, sprint distance races, and offer prize money which pays 10 deep to encourage development in the sport.

The 2026 Supertri Pro Series is:

• Ascension Seton Supertri Austin, USA — May 25
• Supertri Blenheim Palace, UK — June 7
• Supertri Toronto, Canada — July 26

The date and location for the Supertri Pro Series Final will be announced soon.
