The GVH Whiskey Race
In the early 1960's, what is now called the Whiskey Race, and was then called the Bacchus Relay, was a hotly contested annual event. Held on Saturday, November 5, 2022 at 11am - Little & Nations Rd - Geneseo, NY , teams of three race in a relay format against other teams over a jumping course carrying a flask which must be emptied through consumption before the last team member crosses the finish line. Held before the start of a regular hunt, tradition has it that the winning team does not receive their trophy unless they are all able to stay out until the hunt is completed.
