Why the emphasis on a single day payday and 2026? For the triathlon historians among us, we remember the Nasser Bin Hamad Al Khalifa Triple Crown in 2015 and its staggering $1 million prize for taking victories at all three races in the Triple Crown. It was Daniela Ryf who secured the richest prize in triathlon by winning Challenge Dubai, the Ironman 70.3 World Championship, and the Ironman 70.3 Middle East Championship.

Supertri Jersey will make history this weekend by offering an $800,000 prize purse at the Pro Series Final, the biggest single day event payout in triathlon this year.

In 2025, Supertri paid out $1.36 million across five events. This year, with a new format that introduced elite racing alongside mass participation festivals, Supertri is paying out $905,000 across four events. That includes the single day prize purse of $800,000 in Jersey, with each individual winner taking home $100,000 and the remaining prize money paying ten places deep.

Per gender:

• 1st Place: $100,000
• 2nd Place: $75,000
• 3rd Place: $60,000
• 4th Place: $45,000
• 5th Place: $30,000
• 6th Place: $25,000
• 7th Place: $20,000
• 8th Place: $17,500
• 9th Place: $15,000
• 10th Place: $14,000

While Ironman and T100 offer larger tour prizes, this $800,000 is the most on offer in a single day.

The Road to Jersey

Three qualifying events got us here: Ascension Seton Supertri Austin on May 25th, Supertri Blenheim Palace on June 7th, and Supertri Toronto on July 26th. At each event, three men and three women secured places on the Jersey start line alongside some of the biggest stars in triathlon.

In Austin, Aurélien Jem, Matthew McGoey, and Carter Stuhlmacher claimed the first qualifying places in the men’s race, while Eleanor Beveridge, Joy Gill, and Michelle Magnani secured their places in the women’s race.

At Blenheim Palace, qualifying slots went to Oliver Conway, Charles Paquet, and Luke Willian, alongside Olivia Mathias, Eve Whitaker, and Lottie James.

And finally, in Toronto, it was Solomon Okrafo Smart, Nathan Grayel, and Nathan Lessmann who took the men’s slots, while Annie Fuller, Kira Gupta Baltazar, and Mackenzie McConagha secured the women’s slots.

Slots Aside, Who Won This Year?

Starting in Austin, Gwen Jorgensen took the win on home soil, while Tim Hellwig won the men’s race. At Blenheim Palace, it was Oliver Conway celebrating first place in the men’s race and Jolien Vermeylen taking the women’s title.

And in the third and final race before the Pro Series Final, Canadian Tyler Mislawchuk won on home soil in Toronto, while Zuzana Michaličková took the women’s race.

Olympic and World Champions Join the Start List

Then there are the stars joining the athletes who raced their way onto the Jersey start line.

T100 champion and Olympic medalist Hayden Wilde, World Triathlon champion Matt Hauser, and Olympic champion Alex Yee headline the men’s race.

And again, a bit of history. Wilde’s last win at a Supertri event, formerly Super League Triathlon, came at Supertri London in 2024, while Yee won Supertri Toronto in 2025. Hauser’s last victory in the format came at Super League Triathlon NEOM in 2022.

In the women’s race, Olympic champion Cassandre Beaugrand and Olympic medalist Georgia Taylor-Brown are joined by the 2021, 2022, and 2024 Super League Triathlon series champion, along with 2025 Supertri champion Jeanne Lehair and former European champion Jolien Vermeylen.

And on the women’s side of history, Beaugrand last won a Supertri event at the 2025 Supertri E World Triathlon Championship. Taylor-Brown’s last Supertri victory came in 2024, while Lehair won the Supertri League Grand Final race in Toulouse in 2025.

Who Is Missing?

On the women’s side, Austin winner Jorgensen and Gill will miss the race due to injury. Paquet will also be absent from the men’s field due to injury.

The Format

The Supertri format will see athletes race three consecutive rounds of swim, bike, and run without a break. Each round consists of a 300m swim, 4km bike, and 1.6km run.

The Channel Island of Jersey is a fitting location for the Pro Series Final, having hosted the format’s first ever race in 2017. Jersey went on to host Supertri racing in 2018, 2019, 2021, and 2025.

On Saturday, it returns to where it began.

17 women and 19 men will race for the $100,000 top prize, with the action available live on the Supertri YouTube channel.
