The 2026 Supertri Long Beach racers crossed the finish line and made history this year. The triathlon hosted 1,700 athletes and represented a 30% growth after a successful event.
Among the 1,700 racers, there were participants of all ages ranging from 13 to 85 years old. Representing the power of unity, the event raised $775,300 and surpassed their fundraising goal.
The two most popular events were the Olympic and the Sprint, attracting more than 500 participants each.
In the Olympic race, Laguna Beach’s Jessie Rose was the top female finisher with a time of 2:22:30 and Redwood City’s Andrew Ross was the top male racer, finishing with a time of 2:00:39. Long Beach’s very own Gabriella Segovia-Breaux finished as the top non-binary racer after 3:25:15.
The Sprint race also had some local champions. Jennifer Chebi from Thousand Oaks was the top female racer with a time of 1:14:13 and Juyoung Kim from Pasadena finished with a time of 1:01:33 as the top male racer in the event.
All participants got a scenic view of the city, starting with the swimming portion in Alamitos Bay before biking along Shoreline Drive and ending the race with a run past Rainbow Harbor and The Queen Mary.
“Long Beach continues to demonstrate the incredible impact that sport can have in bringing communities together,” said Supertri CEO and Co-Founder Michael D’hulst in a press release. “Seeing first-time triathletes, returning athletes, and corporate teams come together in support of Children’s Hospital Los Angeles is what makes this event so special.”
