Supertri Confirms Star-Studded Start List For Triathlon's Richest Day In Jersey

Olympic and world champions headline an elite field chasing a $100,000 winner's share as the season-ending Supertri Pro Series Final tops off 2026 with an $800,000 prize purse — the biggest single-day payday in the sport this year.

Supertri today confirmed the complete start list for Sunday's Supertri Pro Series Final in Jersey— the climax of the 2026 season and, with a prize purse of more than $800,000, the richest single day in triathlon this year. Winners of the men's and women's races will each take home $100,000, with the purse paid ten places deep.

The Pro Series Final is the culmination of a season in which, for the first time, Supertri's elite racing was fully integrated into its mass-participation festivals. Across three qualifying rounds — Supertri Austin (25 May), Supertri Blenheim Palace (7 June) and Supertri Toronto (26 July) — the world's best short-course triathletes raced the same courses as tens of thousands of amateur athletes, with three men and women at each event securing a start in Jersey alongside Supertri's central roster of Olympic and world champions.

On Sunday, that season-long chase condenses into Supertri's signature format: three back-to-back rounds of swim, bike and run raced out over roughly 55 minutes, with eliminations and the Short Chute — the iconic race-changing shortcut earned during the racing — adding jeopardy all the way to the line.

The start list is headed by a heavyweight men's contest between Paris 2024 Olympic champion Alex Yee (GBR), Olympic medallist Hayden Wilde (NZL) and world champion Matthew Hauser (AUS), three of the sport's biggest names going head-to-head for the $100,000 top prize. It's the first time Yee and Wilde have shared a start line in over a year with Hauser having claimed the 2025 world title on home soil in Wollongong while the pair were largely absent from the short-course circuit.

In the women's race, Paris 2024 Olympic champion Cassandre Beaugrand (FRA) headlines a stacked field that also includes Olympic medallist Georgia Taylor-Brown (GBR), reigning Supertri champion Jeanne Lehair (LUX) and former European champion Jolien Vermeylen (BEL).

They are joined by the athletes who fought their way to Jersey through the Pro Series itself.

The season opened in Austin, where Aurélien Jem (FRA), Matthew McGoey (USA) and Carter Stuhlmacher (USA) claimed the first qualifying places in the men's race, and Eleanor Beveridge, Joy Gill and Michelle Magnani (all USA) did likewise for the women, though Gill has been ruled out through injury.

At Blenheim Palace, 20-year-old Oliver Conway (GBR) beat a stacked international field on home soil to qualify alongside Charles Paquet (CAN) - who misses out via injury - and Luke Willian (AUS), while Olivia Mathias, Eve Whitaker and Lottie James (all GBR) punched their tickets on the women's side.

Toronto supplied the last word on qualification with the final places going to Solomon Okrafo-Smart (GBR), Nathan Grayel and Nathan Lessmann (both FRA) in the men's race, and Annie Fuller (USA), Kira Gupta-Baltazar (CAN) and Mackenzie McConagha (USA) in the women's.

There's a home interest too: Jersey's own Siena Stephens lines up on the waterfront where Supertri staged its first-ever event back in 2017, having been a last minute replacement in 2025 after running 10k at the RBC Race for the Kids in the morning.

Michael D'hulst, CEO and Co-Founder of Supertri, said: "This is the strongest field we've ever assembled for the Supertri Pro Series Final. From Olympic and world champions to the athletes who fought their way here through Austin, Blenheim Palace and Toronto, every single name on this start list has earned their place — and that's exactly what this format is about. Jersey is where Supertri really began, and there's nowhere better to crown the champions in this milestone season, with the richest single-day prize purse in triathlon this year on the line."

The Pro Series Final caps a full weekend of racing and community activity in Jersey. The island hosts the  UBS Corporate Challenge on Friday, and the Jersey Swim Run on Saturday, before Sunday opens with the Hearty Half Marathon and the RBC Race for the Kids — giving age-group athletes, families and corporate teams the chance to race across the same weekend as the world's best. A Fan Zone will run throughout race week, with live entertainment, athlete appearances and big-screen coverage for spectators on site.

Sunday's Pro Series Final will be broadcast live on Supertri's YouTube channel as well as via broadcast partners. Full details on how to watch will be available on Supertri's website and digital channels during race week.

Sunday's Final caps a landmark year for Supertri's mass-participation portfolio, with events across North America and Europe drawing close to 30,000 athletes in 2026 and several — including Supertri Chicago which boasted more than 9,000 participants — selling out. The season also saw the launch of an expanded First-Timer Programme, giving new entrants 12 weeks of personalised training support in partnership with TriDot, underlining Supertri's ambition to grow the sport at every level, from complete beginners to the athletes chasing Sunday's $800,000 purse.
