Rochester, NY

Rochester running is built around the Genesee River corridor and Seneca Park, which offer mostly flat routes popular for the local Saturday parkrun crowd. Cyclists dominate here—the WNYBRC's Zoo Circuit Race and NY Criterium State Championships draw serious racers, and the rolling terrain around the Finger Lakes an hour south (elevation gains of 200–300m) pulls weekend riders looking for more technical courses. The Knights Fury Duathlon serves the crossover community, though the city itself stays fairly pancake-flat for distance running.
