The Utica Boilermaker Road Race isn't until July 10th but according to Executive Director Tim Reed the 13,000 runner limit has been reached.
'Never in our history when we have had a cap have we reached it at such an early date' said Reed. 'When you add that we opened registration five months later than the 2010 race it makes hitting this number even more impressive.'

The registration list has topped 11, 100 runners and with a cap of 13,000 for the 15K there seems to be little doubt that the field will be full before race day, Sunday July 10. Last year at this point there were only about one-third the number of entries so time is of the essence.
For the past ten years or so Rochester's Nik and the Nice Guys have provided the music for the Utica Boilermaker's giant post-race party. However according to the Utica Observer Dispatch there will be a new band entertaining the crowd this year.
