The Best 15K. The Best Post-Race Party. The Best Community Support. World Renowned. Locally Adored.
A local gem of an event with international appeal, the National Distance Running Hall of Fame Weekend featuring the Boilermaker Road Race blends incredible community spirit with international running star power. The result is a week-long event that demonstrates how a community of runners and the community of the Mohawk Valley blend together to result in a successful and highly regarded running event.
Now you have a unique opportunity to reach a captive and supportive audience with your brand and your products as a sponsor of the National Distance Running Hall of Fame Weekend featuring the Boilermaker Road Race.
"The walking, jogging and running world is THE most vibrant, successful and upwardly mobile sport. It has the highest ranking income of any sporting sector, on par with golf, but reaches a much more family-oriented group. No other city (the size of Utica) has a community cheering on athletes, shoulder to shoulder, for the entire 9.3 miles of the race. The Boilermaker is one of the best in the world on exhibiting organization and community spirit."
