Boilermaker Road Race

The Boilermaker Road Race is the big running event in Utica, built around its signature 15K race. The full Boilermaker Weekend is designed to promote a healthy lifestyle, with fun, family and community at the center of it, so the atmosphere is as much a celebration as a competition.

A 15K works out to about 9.3 miles, and the race draws runners to the Mohawk Valley from well beyond Central New York each summer. Spectators line the route, and the weekend turns Utica into a gathering place for runners, volunteers and families. Anyone planning to run or cheer should check the current schedule.
