Come, indulge, enjoy.There are four races over the course of Musselman weekend:
- Friday's super-sprint

The city of Geneva also hosts events throughout the weekend, so consider staying for a few days. Full information can be found on the race website.
Course Information:
Swim:
The swim is 750 meters in deep water.
The course takes place in a canal connecting Seneca Lake to the Seneca River, with an in-the-water start and excellent spectator viewing for the entirety.
Water temperature is typically in the mid-70s, so expect wetsuits to be allowed.
- - - Bike:
The bike includes sections of the half-iron course. It winds through Seneca County on the east side of Seneca Lake, on lightly-trafficked, scenic roads dotted with vineyards.
The course has rolling hills, but no big climbs.
- - - Run:
The sprint run will be a single loop through expansive Seneca Lake State Park and Genevas Lakefront Park, with most of the distance on a lakeside path.
The course is completely flat and well-shaded with ancient weeping willow trees.
