This is a really great race in terms of how many people show up to line the streets during the race! The entire town of Utica shows up to spectate and cheer on the runners. Its very crowded at the beginning but thins out within the first mile. There is no shirt or medal that comes with entry but I did get a neat pint glass with the boilermaker logo on it. The finish line puts you at the Saranac Brewery where an amazing afterparty is thrown. Free food and beer for everyone and some really great entertainment!
