Boilermaker 15K
Race Day Weather
Warm start
Starting at 68°F, heat will be a factor from the gun — go out conservative and stay on top of hydration. Temperatures rising to 78°F through the course will gradually increase perceived effort in the second half. Light winds shouldn't be a major factor for pacing. Moderate humidity at 74% is worth noting for effort level, especially in later miles.

Race Info
The Boilermaker 15K is an annual road race in Utica, New York, first held in 1978. From 1997 to 2006 it was the largest 15K race in the United States before being overtaken by Jacksonville's Gate River Run, and it remains one of the largest in the country. The course finishes near the F.X. Matt Brewing Company, where the post-race party features Saranac beer and a live concert. The race has been held every year since 1978 except 2020, when it was cancelled for COVID-19 and later rescheduled to that October. Wikipedia
