Jorgensen, who claimed Olympic gold in Rio in 2016, is among a strong international and American professional field confirmed for the race. The 40-year-old mother of two left triathlon for marathon running after her Olympic glory, but returned to the sport and remains one of the USA’s highest profile triathletes. She is currently ranked 10th in the World Triathlon Championship Series standings.
The Supertri Pro Series sees elite athletes compete over a draft-legal sprint distance format, with thousands of amateur triathletes taking on the same mutli-lap course that heads to the Texas State Capitol on Memorial Day.
In the men’s field, Olympic gold medallist Tim Hellwig, who collected mixed team gold with Germany in Paris, is making his way back to the top after injury and lines up alongside Seth Rider, who was part of the USA's Olympic silver medal winning mixed relay team in Paris.
Three athletes per gender will qualify for the Supertri Pro Series Final with its $800,000 prize pool. Supertri Pro Series events all pay 10 deep to encourage athlete development. Supertri has partnered with USA Triathlon to offer elite racing development opportunities in Austin.
