In September 2017, Jersey hosted Super League Triathlon’s inaugural event. More than 10,000 enthusiastic spectators watched the event in stunning St Helier’s, accompanied by television coverage reaching an audience of over 375 million viewers.
Plans for the Super League Triathlon will extend to the creation of a unique Jersey Sports and Entertainment Festival; a combination of sports and entertainment events will provide locals and visitors to Jersey with unmatched entertainment options that will incorporate youth elements to engage the entire community. Super League Triathlon is working closely with the British Triathlon Federation and the International Triathlon Union to give top junior athletes from federations across Europe access to SLT’s exhilarating racing style in the days to come.
