Geneva Mixed Team Relay Triathlon, Geneva NY
This event is a short distance mixed team relay triathlon held on the Seneca Lake waterfront in Geneva, NY. The format follows the mixed team relay introduced at the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games and is described as a team relay with alternating women and men.
Teams consist of four mixed-gender athletes only, with two women and two men per team. Each teammate completes a full swim, bike, and run in turn, then tags the next teammate; teams race in alternating order starting with a woman. Total team time determines performance awards. Awards include overall top three teams and age group awards by decade. Age groups are calculated using the average age of the full team.
Distances are approximate and may be adjusted for conditions:
- Swim: about 0.25 mile (300 to 400 m)
- Bike: about 3.9 miles (5.6 to 5.8 km)
- Run: about 1.25 miles (2 km)
There are two registration paths. A full team captain registers a team, pays the full fee, creates a team password, and teammates register later at no additional fee. Individuals register to be randomly paired with three others to form a complete mixed team. The organizer notes the bike course is technical and that road bikes are preferred while aero positioning on the bike is discouraged.
