Geneva Mixed Team Relay presented by Red Jacket Orchards

Headed into our 14th in-person running, the Seneca7 is an opportunity to spend a day with 6 of your favorite sweaty smelly funny and somewhat athletically inclined friends in a 77.7’ish mile circumnavigation of Seneca Lake.

Join us for a race inspired by good fortune and a deep body of blue. The Seneca7 will introduce you to the wonders of Seneca Lake: rushing inlets, crashing waterfalls, banks bathed in golden sunlight. All you (and your team) have to do is run around it.

Event registration opens each October and has been consistently capping out in about 5 minutes. So, set those alarms to be ready to click by 7:00 AM on Friday, October 31st.

It’s a great day to tell cancer where it can go, all while supporting those with cancer in our very own community!

We hope you’ll join us on May 9, 2026, for the Middle Finger 5K.

• Etiquette

• It's a group training ride, not a tight peloton or a race. Much of the course follows newly repaved roads straddling the beautiful Finger Lakes of Seneca and Cayuga in a rural setting. There is plenty of room to ride over the 56 miles bike course, so please give each other room to ride safely.

• Show respect for your fellow triathletes is expected at all times.

• Obey all rules of the road as you normally would, proper cycling communication/etiquette is expected (car back, clear left/right, on your left, etc...)

• Any open-water swimming or running pre/post ride will done be at your own risk
