The Boilermaker 15K Road Race was established in 1976 by Earle C. Reed. Reed was looking for a way to give back to the community that had supported his family's business, Utica Companies (ECR International). The race began with just over 800 runners and a budget of $750. Now, the Boilermaker is the largest 15K in the nation with more than 10,000 runners.
Last year there were 10,000 participants and 2005 promises to be better than ever. In anticipation of a high demand, a registration cap of 11,000 runners is on the 15K race. So don?t delay. Register now on-line or download an form and mail it in today.
