Rock the Quarry Triathlon and Mile Swim
The event takes place at Fidler Pond Park in Goshen, Indiana, at a former rock quarry. For this day the pond is open to the public for a sprint triathlon and a separate mile swim; the quarry is normally closed to swimming and this is the only day of the year people are permitted to swim there.
The sprint triathlon includes a 500 yard open water swim on a triangular counter clockwise course that begins and ends at the same point. The 15.8 mile bike is a flat out and back route with right and left turns that goes through an industrial park and then into the country to Millersburg and back. The run is a two lap 5K on a flat aggregate track that circles Fidler Pond, allowing runners to see much of the field and providing spectator viewing points.
The Mile Swim is set up as a counter clockwise course tracing the pond perimeter. Mile swimmers are chip timed and timing ends when a swimmer crosses a timing mat placed on land at the water edge of the swim exit. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
