[PHOTOS] Did We Catch You At The Boilermaker Start Line?
Getting up to be ready at 5:30 on a Sunday in October is a heck of a lot different than it is in July. It's weird to say that it's Boilermaker day when the sun isn't even up as volunteers start making their way to the start line.
This world-renowned race is often referred to as the country's best 15K. The Boilermaker 15K is recognized for its entertaining yet challenging course and racing's best post-race party, hosted by the F.X. Matt Brewing Company.

We were hanging out at the start line pumping up the crowd and getting all the runners excited. We snapped some great photos in the process! Do you recognize anyone in these photos?
