Rockwall Kiwanis Tri Rock Triathlon
The Rockwall Kiwanis Tri Rock Triathlon is a sprint-distance multisport event held at the J.E.R. Chilton YMCA in Rockwall, Texas. This sanctioned USA Triathlon event is produced in support of the Kiwanis Club of Rockwall, an organization focused on serving children within the local community. The race is open to participants aged 13 and older, with registration available for individuals as well as relay teams of two or three members.
The competition consists of three distinct segments:
- 150 yard pool swim
- 10 mile bike course
- 5 km run
The swim portion takes place in an indoor pool using a snake-style format, where participants line up in numerical order to start. The transition area is restricted to participants and staff, requiring all athletes to be body-marked before entry. For the relay division, teammates share a single timing chip and exchange it at their designated bike rack location within the transition area.
Participants are responsible for providing all of their own equipment, including bicycles and helmets, which must comply with USA Triathlon regulations. The course is subject to a strict closure time, with the bike segment closing at 9:45 AM and all race activities concluding by 10:30 AM. Registered participants receive a race t-shirt and a finisher medal upon completion. Awards are presented to top overall performers, masters, grand masters, and the top three finishers in various age groups and weight classes.
