Seneca 7

Seneca 7 is a team relay event in Geneva, New York, staging a counterclockwise circumnavigation of Seneca Lake. The format is a seven person relay covering about 77.7'ish miles, beginning and ending at the Finger Lakes Welcome Center in Lakefront Park. The course passes vineyards, small towns, scenic lake views, a waterfall in Hector, and state park land such as Sampson.

Teams must register in advance; registration opens each October and has historically filled quickly. Relays must consist of seven registered members with waivers completed by the stated deadline. At least one team member must view the pre race briefing. Teams must rotate runners in the same sequence for all legs and carry the provided slap bracelet as the baton. One bib will contain the timing chip and must be worn by the final leg runner. Teams are expected to be self supported for hydration and supplies; potable water and purchases are available at businesses along the route.

The event enforces safety and conduct rules. Only one vehicle per team is permitted and vehicles must follow the Course Guide; violations may lead to disqualification. Certain exchange points and legs include mandatory safety vests and designated crossings. Teams must submit accurate pace projections because missed cutoffs, early or late arrivals at specified exchanges, rules violations, or improper behavior including public urination or alcohol consumption during the relay can lead to time penalties or disqualification.
