 _ 2017 Musselman Triathlon & Aquabike:
Summer in the Finger Lakes is as sweet as a field of strawberries, as bright as the sun sparkling on a deep blue lake. Geneva in July is a little slice of heaven; with welcoming arms and gracious smiles, this community welcomes you to thrill in being alive. Come, indulge, enjoy.

Course Information:

Swim course (1.2mi/1.9km)

The single-loop swim features an in-the-water start and deep water throughout. Waves are typically 110-150 swimmers each, guided by skilled kayakers. Struggling swimmers will be helped to shore. Water temperature is typically in the mid-70's, so expect wetsuits to be allowed.

Bike course (56mi/90km)

The rolling, single-loop bike course debuted in 2008 for the fifth anniversary race. Starting from Seneca Lake State Park, it traverses the byways of Seneca County to the east of Seneca Lake, including long stretches of shoreline on both Seneca and Cayuga Lakes. You'll pass wineries on the Seneca and Cayuga Wine Trails, penitentiaries, small towns, Mennonite farming regions (look out for horse & buggies!), and a shady stretch in Sampson State Park.

Run course (13.1mi/21km)

The single-loop run heads west along a lakefront path and winds its way through the city of Geneva. After a quick jaunt through the gardens of Houghton House and quintessential Geneva neighborhoods, the route weaves north through vineyards and the campus of Hobart & William Smith Colleges before returning downtown and a finishing stretch along the same lakefront path from which it began.

Directions:

Getting to Geneva from...

Boston: Take the Massachusetts Turnpike (I-90) West. At the New York border, I-90 becomes the New York Thruway, a tollroad. Continue on the Thruway west toward Syracuse. Continue past Syracuse and exit the Thruway at #42 (Geneva). Turn RIGHT after the tollbobooth onto Route 14 towards Geneva. Continue on Route 14 for approximately 5 miles to reach Geneva's downtown; the road will now be called Exchange Street.

New York City: Take I-87 North until it turns into I-90 near Albany. Continue on the Thruway west toward Syracuse. Continue past Syracuse and exit the Thruway at #42 (Geneva). Turn RIGHT after the tollbooth onto Route 14 towards Geneva. Continue on Route 14 for approximately 5 miles to reach Geneva's downtown; the road will now be called Exchange Street.

Ohio and points west: Take I-90 toward Erie. This road becomes the New York State Thruway. Continue on I-90 past Rochester to exit #42 (Geneva). Turn RIGHT after the tollbooth onto Route 14 towards Geneva. Continue on Route 14 for approximately 5 miles to reach Geneva's downtown; the road will now be called Exchange Street.

Central/Eastern Pennsylvania: Take I-81 North to exit 8 (Whitney Point, Route 79). Follow Route 79 west toward Ithaca. Upon entering Ithaca, route 79 becomes East State Street. Stay on East State Street, bearing right at the Ithaca Commons. Turn LEFT on West Seneca Street (this will still be route 79). Continue on Route 79 out of downtown Ithaca and you will see signs for Route 96 North toward Trumansburg. Stay on Route 96 through the town on Ovid. Stay straight onto Route 96A, past Sampson State Park. Route 96A will dead-end into Routes 5&20. Turn LEFT toward the city of Geneva and continue 2 miles into the city.
