Supertri returns to Jersey for all-star showdown

Supertri has announced 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.

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.”
