Since 2010, the Rochester Triathlon (aka The ROC) is a late summer classic organized by the Rochester Area Triathletes (aka RATs) and held at Durand-Eastman Beach in Irondequoit, NY on Saturday August 24, 2024. The ROC features a shallow open-water swim, closed-to-traffic, super-fast, bike course, and a picturesque run along Lake Ontario and Seabreeze shorelines to the roaring crowds lining the pathway.
Home of the 2023 NY State Championships, The ROC is a USAT-sanctioned event offering National qualifying slots for the Sprint and Intermediate distances and formats: Age-Group, Athena, Clydesdale, High School, Aquabike, Duathlon. (sorry - no relays).
By popular demand, the Duathlon and Aquabike will return for 2024 plus the now famous Open Division heat for highly competitive triathletes wanting an all-or-nothing race with shotgun start, head-to-head battle to the finish with the podium winners receiving the Overall awards.
