History

The Boilermaker is a not-for-profit 501- organization in support of a road race that was established in 1978. The first Boilermaker was run on July 16, 1978. That year, the race had a budget of $750 and attracted just over 800 local runners. Since that time, the Boilermaker has expanded beyond the 15K race. Numerous events are scheduled throughout the race weekend, which Utica residents call "Boilermaker Weekend." Events include a large health and wellness expo, held at Mohawk Valley Community College, a 5K race and a popular kids' run. The race gained national prominence in 1983, when American distance runner Bill Rodgers won with a time of 44:38.
