wheelchair challenge

There will be a very special race during this year's Boilermaker that could be life changing. That is the annual Sitrin Wheelchair Challenge program.

The Boilermaker Road Race returns to its traditional July date this year after being held last year in October.

At the annual Boilermaker Wheelchair reception Thursday night, Sitrin honored past and present Boilermaker wheelchair racers.

A small crowd gathered at the Sitrin Medical Rehabilitation Center in New Hartford to celebrate 2012's Wheelchair Challenge winner.
