Every year you'll run into this guy... the guy who claims that next year he'll run... the guy that claims he always wants to run it.... the guy who pretends he's going to start training for next year. Next year will be their year......These people will come out of the wood works and travel in flocks.

Every year I'm always proud to play the radio station out on the course. Every year I always get someone who must live under a rock in the city of Utica and comes up to me and asks "What's going on today".... then follows up the answer with "What's a boilermaker?". Yes, the city of Utica has actual men and women who make boilers for a living run in a road race....

It's only a sea of 14,000 people running by, and this one guy always has one person they are looking for. When you ask who are they looking for they respond with "Well they got a tank top on... and they run"...... This person will be easier to find then Edward Snowden clearly. You'll spot every one else out in the world except that one runner.

 

That Person Older Than Your Grandma Running In The Race While You Watch Coverage At Home

Every year I'm always impressed with the fact people from all walks of life and all age groups run the race. I'm always fascinated with the fact these people are almost double my age, and are in way better shape. I seriously salute all of you, I'm not kidding. Good work.

Every year there's always one old guy who wants to scream at you for parking around the race route. Seriously, if you're going to live around the course, you're going to deal with people parking in the street. Hell, if you wanted to make a profit, charge parking.

 

BONUS: The Short Cut Hunter

This person doesn't care if the nations largest 15K road race is going on, they have some where to go! They will cross the race route in their car, they don't car. They will go from block to block and cause trouble with security.

 

To all runners, the best of luck.
