Established in 1978, the Boilermaker has been selected by Runners World Magazine and Roadrunners' Clubs of America as one of the top races in the country. The race began with just over 800 runners and a budget of $750. Now, the Boilermaker is the largest 15K in the nation with more than 11,000 runners. Each year, the race attracts top elite runners from throughout the world, Olympians, world-record holders, and Hamiltonians.
You might recognize some students, alumni, faculty, administrators, and staff in the photos from the last three years, which can be seen at the following links:
