The ROC Triathlon - NY

Since 2010, the Rochester Triathlon (aka The ROC) has been a late-summer classic organized by the Rochester Area Triathletes (RATs) and held at Durand-Eastman Beach in Irondequoit, NY. The event features a shallow open-water swim, a closed-to-traffic, fast bike course, and a scenic, picturesque run along Lake Ontario and the Seabreeze shorelines to crowds lining the pathway.

The ROC is a USAT-sanctioned event offering qualifying slots for the National Championships for both Sprint and Intermediate distances. The event includes the following divisions:

• High School: Male and female athletes still in school (Sprint distance only)
• Age Group: 5-year age bands
• Open: Elite triathlete division
• Athena / Clydesdale: Athenas are females above 165 lbs; Clydesdales are males above 225 lbs (Sprint distance only)

Note: Due to consistently low participation, the Duathlon, Aquabike, and Relays are no longer being offered.
