Word-class triathletes will compete on Jersey's Waterfront again this autumn.

Supertri is bringing its Pro Series Final back in September, after returning last year following a four year absence.

Organisers say the sports' superstars are ready to fight it out for the £600,000 prize.

It will be the global triathlon brand's season-ending showdown.

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.”

In 2025, two Jersey triathletes got a late call up to race alongside the sport's elite.

Last year's event included school visits and athlete Q&As to grassroots coaching sessions, with Superti committed to inspiring the next generation of athletes.  That is something Michael D’hulst wants to repeat this year.

"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.

"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 has revamped its format for 2026 and athletes will be competing as individuals rather than in teams.

There will be three Pro Series events leading up to the final which will open up the competition to a wider selection of elite athletes, and see amateurs racing alongside professionals.

The top three athletes per gender from each Pro Series event will earn the chance to compete against Supertri’s all-star roster in Jersey for the Final.

Olympic champions Alex Yee and Cassandre Beaugrand have already confirmed they will race in Jersey and will both be tough to beat.

The Supertri Pro Series Final will take place on September 6.

It will coincide with 3D Events’ Swim Run Jersey and the JSAC Half Marathon for a packed weekend of endurance sport.

There will also be the RBC Race for Kids fun run which drew 1,000 runners last year, raising money for Jersey Child Care Trust.
