This world-renowned race is often referred to as the country’s best 15K. The Boilermaker 15K is recognized for its entertaining yet challenging course and racing’s best post-race party, hosted by the F.X. Matt Brewing Company, featuring Saranac beer and a live concert! With plenty of water support, strong attention to medical detail, and crowd support like no other race, the Boilermaker 15K is an event worth training and traveling for and should be on every runner’s “must-do” list. If you would like to experience a Boilermaker race without committing to a 15K, the 5K presented by Utica National is for you. Runners in the 5K event get to run the last 5 kilometers (3.1 miles) of the Boilermaker course and finish at the F.X. Matt Brewing Company where the Post-Race Party begins!

Are you looking for a fun way to volunteer for the Parkinson's Foundation & raise your voice while raising awareness? Come out and cheer on our incredible athletes! Learn more and apply at Parkinson.org/ChampionsCheer.
