The ROC Indoor Tri
The ROC Indoor Tri is a timed indoor triathlon held at the Louis Wolk Jewish Community Center in Rochester, NY on March 27, 2027. Two race categories are listed: an Indoor Triathlon and a Kids Indoor Triathlon. Registration opens October 30, 2026 and closes March 26, 2027; listed entry fees are $30 for the Indoor Triathlon and $10 for the Kids Indoor Triathlon.
The event uses sequential triathlon order: swim, bike, run, with Average Ranking across the three disciplines used to determine awards. Each adult heat consists of three 15 minute efforts separated by two 5 minute transition periods for a total race time of 45 minutes; the kids category uses three 10 minute efforts with two 5 minute transitions for a total of 30 minutes. Heats will have 10 athletes and start every 20 minutes.
Swim takes place in a five-lane lap pool with two athletes splitting each lane; only completed laps are counted. The bike segment uses stationary spin bikes with adjustable resistance; bikes will be calibrated as consistently as possible. The run segment uses treadmills that will also be calibrated. In the event of a tie in total distance, total kilowatts recorded on the stationary bike will serve as the tie-breaker.
Volunteers will monitor and record results, and athletes may be asked to assist as counters. A post-race party and awards ceremony will follow at the JCC. Award categories include overall top three male and female, spirit of the race, age group winner, most-improved, best swim the Dolphin, best bike the Cranker, best run the Cheetah, slowest transition time the Camper, and Dead Middle the DFM.
