Utica Roadrunners Boilermaker Training Program (BTP)
About this race
WELCOME!
This is the official sign up page for the 2026 Boilermaker Training Program. We offer training programs for both the 5k and 15k distances. Our goal is to get you across that finish line for your first time, your next time, or your best time. This program is FREE for current Roadrunner members and $25 for those who are not.
Our FIRST DAY is Saturday, February 28th, 7:30am @ The Sneaker Store in New Hartford. We will gather indoors, but all running will be OUTSIDE this year - so please dress accordingly! We will plan to run the first 6-8 weeks from Forte and then switch to the Parkway Rec Center. Other starting locations may be used as well, so watch your email for details each week.
This event is coached by the Utica Road Runners, and will be led by Erik Winberg and Peter Angelini and Amanda Hartnett with ongoing help from many Utica Roadrunners members, leaders, and race directors.
We will be offering Two Training Levels to choose from for both the 5k and 15k.
Level 1-- First-time Finishers
Level 2-- Established/Recreational Runners
