The 2025 Boilermaker Road Race brought the heat, the energy, and the runners to Utica on Sunday, July 13. Thousands lined the streets to cheer on elite athletes and local favorites across the 15K, 5K, and wheelchair divisions.

John Korir repeated as the men’s 15K champion, finishing in 42:44, :33 off his 2024 time. In the women’s division, Veronica Loleo edged out last year’s winner Grace Loibach Nawowuna by just three seconds in a photo finish.
