This is a preview of the race – click on the names to read about magical days for Jeanne Lehair and Csongor Lehmann.

This Sunday sees Toulouse host a Supertri League for the fourth consecutive year – and make its debut as the Grand Final venue.

That means champions will be crowned – and there’s all to play for in the women’s and men’s overall titles as well as the massively-lucrative teams competition.

Set against the vibrant backdrop of the iconic ‘Pink City’, the event has become a firm favourite among both athletes and fans – and this year promises to be the biggest and best-supported yet.

For the first time, the Toulouse event will feature a mass participation event on race-day morning, offering the chance for athletes of all levels to take part.

The teams competition

The Supertri League features three rounds (Toronto, Chicago and Jersey) plus the Grand Final in Toulouse, with additional points on offer for the finale. There are both men’s and women’s individual categories, but athletes are not just competing for themselves, they are competing for their squad in the Teams League.

Defending champions Crown Racing have plenty of catching up to do as they currently sit in second on 225 points behind Podium Racing who top the table on 265. There’s then another large gap of 35 points back to Brownlee Racing in third on 190, with a further 22 points the difference between them and last place Stars and Stripes Racing on 168.

The points allocation is increased in Toulouse too – check that out here.

Each team consists of four women and four men, and must contain an under-23 athlete in line with Supertri’s commitment to develop the future of triathlon.

The team managers are as follows:

Brownlee Racing – Tim Don
Crown Racing – Chris McCormack
Podium Racing – John Anthony
Stars & Stripes Racing – Parker Spencer

And with over $1million up for grabs in the prize fund this year – the majority again in the Teams League – there’s a huge amount at stake on Sunday.

Toulouse course and format

It’s the Enduro format – or now called ‘Supertri format’ in the grand finale.

That’s three back-to-back triathlons (all in swim-bike-run order), with no breaks in between.

Not everyone will make it to the finish though, because should an athlete fall more than 90 seconds behind the race leader at any point they will be eliminated.

The tight, technical course in Toulouse, is always intense and the streets are lined with huge crowds.

It could be even more special this year too as for the first time as athletes ride and run on Pont Neuf.

This means that the Short Chute moves to this section of the course. Another change is that athletes run one lap of all the course at all times (in previous years they completed a second lap on their final run leg).

Beginner’s guide to supertri

‘Normal’ rules do not apply in supertri and a small short cut, aka ‘Short Chute’, can be earned during the racing for being first across the line at various points.

You can earn a Short Chute in Chicago as follows:

  1. the first athlete across the mount line after the swim on Stage 1
  2. the first across the mount line after the bike on Stage 1 (i.e. after T2)
  3. the first across the dismount line after the run on Stage 1

Short Chutes are won for a team and awarded to an athlete during the race by their team
