2020 boilermaker

The Boilermaker’s retail store at 805 Court Street in Utica has re-opened to the public.

For the first time in 43 years, the Utica Boilermaker Road Race will not take place on the second Sunday in July.

The virtual six week program is designed to keep kids active this summer as the pandemic has put youth sports on hold and pushed this year's Boilermaker to the fall.

The race has been run the second Sunday in July every year since 1978, but this year’s Utica Boilermaker Road Race will be taking place in September.

It looks like Utica's premiere summertime event will be postponed for two months because of the coronavirus.
