The ROC Triathlon
The ROC Triathlon, held in Rochester at Durand-Eastman Beach, is a multi-sport event that has taken place since 2010. The competition is staged along the shorelines of Lake Ontario and Seabreeze, featuring a shallow open-water swim and a bike course that is closed to traffic. This USAT-sanctioned event provides qualifying opportunities for the National Championships across various categories.
Participants can choose from a variety of race formats and distances:
- Intermediate Triathlon: 1.5 km swim, 40 km bike, and 10 km run.
- Sprint Triathlon: 750 m swim, 20 km bike, and 5 km run.
- Intermediate AquaBike: 1.5 km swim and 40 km bike.
- Sprint Duathlon: 2 mile run, 20 km bike, and 5 km run.
- 5K Run: A 5 km running race with awards for overall and masters finishers.
- Kids Splash-n-Dash: Swim and run distances tailored for ages 6-9 and 10-13.
Specific divisions are available for different participant groups. The High School division is open to those 17 and under for the sprint distance. The Athena and Clydesdale divisions are based on weight requirements, with females over 165 lbs and males over 225 lbs eligible. Most triathlon events recognize age group finishers in five-year increments, while the AquaBike and Duathlon categories award the top three overall finishers.
