Imagine being part of this exclusive club. These Central New Yorker's according to the Utica OD, have taken part in the 15K Boilermaker every year since 1978:
1) Robert Bluey (Yorkville)

3) Gordon Custerdo (New Hartford)
4) Daniel DeFrees (Chittenango)
5) Lawrence DiCesare (Utica)
6) Paul Huening (Utica)
7) Edward Newman (Rochester...ok technically not from Central New York, but comes to the region every year)
8) Richard Watkajtys (New Hartford)

Whether this is your first Boilermaker, or your 39th, best of luck to all the runners.
