Supertri Long Beach

Supertri has officially announced that the Supertri Long Beach, formally known as the Long Beach Legacy Triathlon, and its Corporate Challenge have officially surpassed $20 million raised since 2007 for Children’s Hospital Los Angeles’ (CHLA) pediatric cancer research program. This milestone follows a record‑setting 2025, in which the event generated $715,000 for CHLA, and sets the stage for this year’s Supertri Long Beach taking place on Sunday, July 19.

The 2026 event marks a milestone year for both the race and its charitable impact. This year represents the 20th year of the Corporate Challenge, a signature fundraising initiative that unites leading companies and local organizations in support of CHLA. It also coincides with Children’s Hospital Los Angeles’ 125th anniversary, underscoring more than a century of life‑changing pediatric care.

"The Supertri Long Beach is a vital fundraiser supporting pediatric cancer research at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles," said James Amatruda, MD, PhD, Director of the Cancer and Blood Disease Institute at CHLA. "It is a privilege to participate in this event alongside so many dedicated individuals whose commitment is driving progress in pediatric cancer research and bringing hope and improved therapies to children and families."

Designed with accessibility in mind and built to inspire the competitor in everyone, the Supertri Long Beach places a strong emphasis on welcoming first-time participants into the sport. The event features a free First Timers Program which includes a beginner-friendly TriDot training plan, live expert-led webinars, and access to a supportive online community. On race weekend, first-time athletes can also join a beginner-friendly swim wave, use a rack-together transition area, and connect with coaches and event staff, including an “Ask a Coach” booth to build confidence and ensure a positive introduction to the sport. Athletes can also compete individually or as part of a relay team, allowing another approachable entry point into the sport.

“Supertri Long Beach represents everything Supertri stands for; accessibility, community, and pushing the boundaries of what the sport can be,” said Michael D’hulst, CEO and Co-Founder of Supertri. “We have seen incredible momentum in Long Beach, not only in participation but in the way the community and corporate teams rally together towards a shared cause. As we look to this year’s event, we are really focused on expanding opportunities for new athletes, elevating the race experience, and continuing to build a weekend that inspires friends, families, corporate teams, and competitors of every level.”

The 2026 event weekend will feature Sprint and Olympic distance races, the Corporate Challenge, and the Kids Splash & Dash. Supertri Long Beach will also serve as one of two host venues for the 2026 USA Paratriathlon Nationals Qualifier Series, offering aspiring elite paratriathletes the opportunity to compete on July 19 as part of a blockbuster coast‑to‑coast racing weekend. Set against the waterfront of Long Beach, the course begins with a calm swim in Alamitos Bay, followed by a bike ride along Shoreline Drive with views of the Pacific Ocean, and finishes with a scenic run past landmarks like Rainbow Harbor and The Queen Mary.
