OLYMPIC, World and European champions have been confirmed for the Supertri Final due to take place at the Waterfront later this year.

Over the first weekend of September, the Island will play host to the Supertri event for the sixth time, bringing a feast of sport that will also offer local athletes of all ages the chance to stretch their legs over the same course as the professionals.

Offering prize money of $800,000, this year’s event will be televised worldwide and will mark the finale of Supertri’s 2026 season.

Among the field set to compete are reigning Olympic champions Alex Yee and Cassandre Beaugrand as well as three-time Olympic medallist Jonny Brownlee and 2020 gold medallist Georgia Taylor-Brown.

Michael D’hulst, co-founder of Supertri, said: “This is an extraordinary line-up for the Supertri Pro Series Final. We have current world champions, Olympic gold medallists, reigning Supertri champions and athletes who have already created unforgettable moments in Jersey all competing for the biggest one-day prize purse in triathlon.

“The stakes have never been higher and with $800,000 on the line, every second will matter. Jersey always brings something special to Supertri; the course, the atmosphere and the energy from the crowd create the perfect setting for a final of this scale.”

The Supertri Pro Series Final takes place on Sunday 6 September as part of a weekend of endurance sport, alongside Swim Run Jersey, the JSAC Half Marathon and RBC Race for the Kids Jersey.
