SUMMARY:RBC and Supertri to get families moving with return of RBC Race for Kids
DESCRIPTION:The ‘RBC Race for the Kids Jersey’ is returning on Sunday 6th September 2026, in partnership with Supertri, the global leader in short-course triathlon, ahead of the Supertri Pro Series Final.\nThe family-friendly event invites islanders of all ages and abilities to walk, run, scoot or push prams around either a 2.5k, 5k or 10k course, all while raising money for Jersey Child Care Trust (JCCT).\nFollowing the incredible success of last year’s event, RBC and Supertri are hoping to inspire even more islanders to get active, take on a challenge and support an important local cause.\nIn 2025, nearly 1,000 participants took part in RBC Race for the Kids Jersey, raising an outstanding £56,000 for JCCT. The event created an electric atmosphere at Waterfront Gardens and became one of the standout moments of the Supertri weekend, showcasing the power of community spirit and inclusive sport.\nRBC Race for the Kids Jersey is part of a global RBC initiative, with 29 family fun runs worldwide, over 470,000 participants and more than C$100 million raised for youth charities since its inception in 2009. Jersey’s 2026 edition promises to be one of the most impactful yet.\nDavid Bailey, COO, RBC Wealth Management, said: “Race for the Kids Jersey is so much more than a race. It’s an opportunity for our community to come together around a shared purpose and make a meaningful difference for Jersey Childcare Trust. The energy and enthusiasm at last year’s race was truly remarkable, and we’re delighted to be partnering with Supertri again for this special day.”\nLast year also saw the launch of a competition between Jersey’s schools, where the school with the most participants in RBC Race for the Kids Jersey won a piece of Supertri history. Victoria College Preparatory School claimed the top prize, winning a framed tri-suit signed by Supertri’s world-class athletes, along with bragging rights as Jersey’s most active school.\nThe competition for local schools in Jersey is back for 2026 and bigger and better than before. This year, every school that signs up to take part in RBC Race for the Kids Jersey will receive a Supertri Active School Badge, recognising their commitment to keeping children and families active.\nStudents, teachers and families will also gain access to a range of resources and fun activities throughout the summer holidays, designed to help participants stay active and prepare for race day. This will include motivational video messages from Supertri’s professional athletes, helping to inspire the next generation ahead of the event.\nThe school with the highest number of participants this year will be crowned Jersey’s Official Supertri Champion School and will receive exclusive event experiences, including a meet and greet with elite athletes, behind the scenes access at the Supertri Pro Series Final, and the opportunity for a student representative to take part in an official race day presentation ceremony later that day. Additional activities, challenges and prizes for schools will also be announced in the lead-up to the event.\nMichael D’hulst, CEO and Co-Founder of Supertri, said: “One of the things we love most about Jersey is the way the whole community embraces our events, and RBC Race for the Kids Jersey is the perfect example of that. Last year, it was great to see so many schools getting involved and welcoming the competition. We are excited to see even more pupils, teachers and families taking part this year.”\nAs well as inspiring more islanders to get active and challenge themselves, RBC Race for the Kids Jersey will once again raise crucial funds for an important cause. JCCT works to give every child in Jersey the best possible start in life, supporting children, families and early years professionals through a range of educational and community programmes across the island.\nFiona Vacher, CEO of Jesey Child Care Trust, said: “We are so grateful to RBC and Supertri for their continued support of Jersey’s children and families. There’s something really special about seeing so many islanders come together for this event to help change a child’s start in life. To everyone signing up to take part and fundraising, thank you. Your generosity and community spirit really make a difference.”\n\nMain picture shows the 2025 event.\n
