The Priority Registration period is exclusive to anyone who registered for the 2024 races, regardless of whether they completed the race.
Priority Registration will last for three weeks.
Priority Runners MUST use the exact name that they registered with for the 2022 race and can register for either race they choose to run. (Registrations can be corrected/edited after the registration process is complete.)
Open registration will close once the caps are reached for each race.
Race Caps: 15K = 8,500 5K = 3,500
The waitlist will open once each race reaches its cap.
Runners have the option to be placed on the waitlist if they are closed out of the 15K race. There is no waitlist for the 5K.
Runners will be notified if a spot opens up. Once notified, the runner will have 48 hours from the time the email was sent to register.
If they don’t register within the allotted time, they will lose their spot and the next person on the list will be notified.
All medical deferral requests must be accompanied by a doctor’s note and be emailed to the Race Director at racedirector@boilermaker.com.
All Medical Deferrals expire and are invalid once the “Deferral Registration” period closes in 2025.
Medical Deferrals are not transferable and cannot be carried over to the following year.
Medically Deferred runners are responsible for notifying the race of a change in their email address and/or personal contact information prior to registration opening.
(A registrant offers their registration to another user, and upon that user’s paid registration, the original registrant receives a refund.)
The transfer window opens Thursday, May 1, 2025. All transfer requests must be made online.
The transferee (new runner) will incur the cost of the registration fee and a transfer fee unless the transfer is gifted.
Online transfers must be started by Wednesday, July 2, 2025 and any in-progress transfers must be completed by Friday, July 4, 2025.
Limited transfers may be available onsite at the Health & Wellness Expo on July 11 and 12.

Because of our 5K cap, ONLY the first 500 requests to drop from the 15K to the 5K will be honored.
Once the change is made, it is final. Runners will not be able to change back to the 15K, and will not be refunded the difference in the cost of registrations.
Drop downs not completed before July 4, 2025, must be made in person at the expo (if the cap of 500 has not been reached).
There are no Race Day Drop Downs.
