A Utica native living in Texas came home to run the Boilermaker and shortly after crossing the finish line tragically passed away. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family.
The Boilermaker Road Race went out without a hitch on Sunday and has improved dramatically from the devastation suffered during the COVID-19 years. Boilermaker race officials held a post-race press conference Monday to give positive news and recap the days events.
