Seneca7 : Geneva, NY (April 25, 2027)
Seneca7 is a seven-person relay that circumnavigates Seneca Lake in a roughly 77.7'ish mile counter-clockwise course, starting and ending at the Finger Lakes Welcome Center in Lakefront Park, Geneva, NY. The event route passes vineyards, small towns, historic state parks such as Sampson, and includes lake views and a waterfall in Hector. The 2027 edition is the 14th in-person running.
Teams must register as seven members, rotate runners in a fixed sequence throughout the race, and submit waivers in advance. Each team receives a slap bracelet to use as a baton and one chipped bib that must be worn by the final leg runner. Teams are expected to be self-supported for hydration and fuel; there are no organized water stations on the course, though there are places to refill or purchase supplies along the route. A printed or downloaded copy of the course guide is required because some areas lack cell reception.
Safety and equipment rules include a single team vehicle that fits in one standard parking space, prohibition of alcohol consumption during the race, and a high-visibility safety vest required on specified legs and for any runner on course after 7 p.m. Registration typically opens each October; the 2026 field was limited to 310 teams and filled within minutes.
