The 15-kilometer (9.3 miles) run is the main event of Boilermaker Weekend. The course was re-certified by USA Track & Field (USATF) in 1996, and is marked in kilometers and miles. The City of Utica will keep the streets closed for 2 hours, and splits will be given every mile, at 5K and at 10K. There will be over twenty official water and aid stations along the course.

Important Information:
The course is open only to registered runners, wheelchair division athletes and official race personnel. If you are a registered runner, you can pick up your race packet at the Expo on Friday, July 6, 2011 and Saturday July 7, 2011. For more information, visit the Health and Fitness Expo page.

There will be a free shuttle bus service available to Boilermaker runners to take them to the start line near the Utica Boilers, and after the race on Whitesboro St. to take runners back to Dwyer Ave. until 1:00 PM.
