Supertri Pro Series Final returns to Jersey on September 6 with an $800,000 prize purse and an all-star field headlined by Olympic champions Alex Yee and Cassandre Beaugrand

May 20, 2026 /ENDURANCE SPORTSWIRE/ – Supertri is delighted to announce that its world-class triathletes will return to Jersey for its Pro Series Final in September, competing for a staggering $800,000 prize purse.

The global triathlon brand will stage its season-ending showdown on September 6, 2026, bringing the sport’s biggest names back to the island following the resounding success of the Supertri League Jersey event in 2025.

The confirmed start list reads like a who’s who of short-course triathlon. Olympic gold medallists Alex Yee (GBR) and Cassandre Beaugrand (FRA) headline a field that also includes Matt Hauser (AUS), Georgia Taylor-Brown (GBR), Tim Hellwig (GER), Csongor Lehmann (HUN), Jeanne Lehair (LUX) and Jolien Vermeylen (BEL), with more big names to be announced. Together they represent some of the fastest and most decorated athletes in the sport, and all will be racing for their share of 2026’s biggest single-day triathlon prize purse.

The Pro Series Final is the culmination of a revamped 2026 format in which athletes compete as individuals across three qualifying events. The top three finishers per gender at each qualifier earn a place on the start line in Jersey, racing alongside Supertri’s all-star line-up.

This will mark the sixth time that Supertri has hosted an event in Jersey, further strengthening the island’s reputation as a premier destination for elite sport and reinforcing its special place in the Supertri calendar.

Michael D’hulst, CEO and Co-Founder of Supertri, said: “This is a huge year for Supertri, as we truly unify professional and amateur racing and grow the sport of triathlon. Our new Pro Series is the very pinnacle of short course racing with the sport’s superstars ready to come to Jersey to fight for the biggest one-day prize purse in the sport in 2026. We consider Jersey to be the spiritual home of Supertri, so we can’t think of anywhere more fitting to host the Supertri Pro Series Final this year.”

Last year’s event delivered far more than just world-class racing, creating a lasting social impact across the island. From school visits and athlete Q&As to grassroots coaching sessions, Supertri connected with hundreds of young people and local organisations, helping to inspire the next generation of athletes.

Working closely with Jersey Sport, the event also supported the island’s ambition to inspire a more active community and encourage islanders to adopt healthier lifestyles and give different sports a try.

Michael D’hulst added: “It was fantastic to see how much the community embraced the event once again in 2025. We had the chance to meet so many aspiring athletes and hear their stories, and to visit schools and see our Olympic stars inspiring a new generation, which is exactly what Supertri is all about. We’re really looking forward to working with Jersey Sport again this year to continue spreading that message and inspiring even more people to get active.”

David Kennedy, CEO of Jersey Sport, said: “We are absolutely delighted to welcome Supertri back to Jersey in 2026. Our island has quickly become a popular destination within the Supertri series, and much of that success comes down to the strong connection the athletes build with our community whenever they visit.

“The event is always an opportunity to show off Jersey at its best to the world of sport, and to inspire people locally by bringing world-class competition right to our doorstep. We look forward to building on the success of previous years and once again creating lasting experiences for both participants and spectators across the island.”

The Supertri Pro Series Final has a staggering $800,000 prize purse on offer, the largest single-day prize fund in triathlon this year. The stakes have never been higher for the Supertri athletes, so Jersey spectators can expect some nail-biting competition ahead of the finish line.

The Pro Series Final will be raced over the iconic Supertri Format, with three back-to-back rounds of swim, bike and run.

Alongside the elite racing, Supertri will partner again with Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) to support RBC Race for the Kids, the mass participation charity fun run. Following the incredible turnout in 2025, when almost 1,000 participants walked, ran, scooted and pushed prams to raise funds for Jersey Child Care Trust, the team is aiming to build on that momentum and encourage even more islanders to get involved this year.

UBS will also return as a key sponsor for the event, with further exciting announcements expected as the partnership continues to grow and deepen its community impact.

The Supertri Pro Series Final will take place on September 6, the same weekend as 3D Events’ Swim Run Jersey and the JSAC Half Marathon, creating a landmark ‘weekend of endurance sport’ in Jersey. The weekend kicks off against the dramatic backdrop of Mont Orgueil Castle on Saturday morning, as Swim Run Jersey competitors begin their adventure along Jersey’s stunning shoreline. On Sunday morning, runners of all abilities will line up at FB Fields for Jersey Spartan Athletic Club’s Hearty Half Marathon, in support of Jersey Heart Support Group. To conclude the epic ‘weekend of endurance sport’, Supertri athletes will once again dive into the marina for the Pro Series Final on Sunday afternoon.

The packed schedule promises an unforgettable few days for competitors and spectators alike, showcasing the island as a leading destination for endurance sport. Supertri is also looking forward to supporting and celebrating the other events across the weekend, with the team excited to cheer on participants and contribute to what promises to be a unique and vibrant sporting atmosphere.

This September, Supertri’s return to Jersey promises to deliver another unforgettable chapter — both on and off the course.
