BOILERMAKER INTRODUCTION
The 38th Boilermaker 15K Road Race
Sunday, July 12, 2015
8 a.m. Eastern Standard Time
Course Certified by USA Track & Field
Course Certification Number NY969009-WN
Race Director: Jim Stasaitis
Executive Director: Tim Reed
History of the Race
The Boilermaker 15K Road Race was established in 1978 by Earle C. Reed. Reed was looking for a way to give back to
the community that had supported his family’s business, Utica Companies (ECR International). Earle convinced his
father Bob Reed, President of Utica Radiator, and the company’s Treasurer Jim Benson, to underwrite a new local long
distance road race, which Earle dubbed “The Boilermaker.” With additional assistance from cofounder F.X. Matt II,
president of F.X. Matt Brewing Company, the first Boilermaker was held July 16, 1978. Earle Reed served as Race
Director from 1978-2000, Bob Ingalls from 2001-2007, and Jim Stasaitis took the race over in 2008.
It wasn’t the first local road race, but it quickly became the most popular. The Boilermaker continues to strive to be the
best 15K race in the United States, attracting athletes and fans from all over the world. The race began with 876 runners
and a budget of $750. Now in its 38th year, the Boilermaker draws more than 18,000 competitors and sponsors at
support levels of $5,000 and up.
The Course
A 9.3-mile tour of Utica, the Boilermaker takes participants from the start line at ECR International, along the Memorial
Parkway, up through Valley View Country Club and Golf Course, back on the Memorial Parkway, along upper Genesee
Street, turning onto Shepherd Place, Sunset Avenue and then onto Burrstone Road passing the Utica College Campus.
The course then comes down Champlin Avenue, Whitesboro and Court Streets, and concludes at the F.X. Matt’s
Brewery.

Boilermaker Introduction
Roger Robinson of Running Times – “The Utica Boilermaker 15K has always been one of my favorites.”
Race of the Month Runner’s World named the Boilermaker Road Race the “Race of the Month” in 2009 and calls it
“a classic event with a competitive field- and one of the biggest and best parties in all of running.”
Runner’s World Magazine stated in 2008 that “the Boilermaker remained a must-run.”
The Best 15K in the Nation - The Boilermaker Road Race was ranked as the largest 15K road race in the
nation for ten consecutive years, from 1997-2006. Each year, the race attracts top elite runners from all over the world,
Olympians and world record holders. The Boilermaker has been named as one of the top 100 races in the country by
Runner’s World magazine.
Voted One of RRCA’s Top 20 Road Races - In a 2002 survey of members of the Road Runners Club of
America, the Boilermaker was named one of the top 20 road races in the United States. The poll was conducted by the
club’s flagship publication, “Footnotes,” which is sent to its 145,000 members. This is a significant honor, as members
were asked to consider the virtues of approximately 3,000 races throughout the country.
Road Race of the Year New England Runner, a nationally publicized magazine, named the Boilermaker “Road
Race of the Year” for 2002.
Professional Road Running Organization
The Professional Road Running Organization (PRRO) is an alliance of race directors who together organize and
promote the PRRO Circuit, a nationwide series of premier non-marathon road racing events. The Circuit's open
competition policy (athletes from all countries are eligible) results in the most competitive and high-profile elite fields
in the sport at each event. The PRRO Circuit culminates on the 12th of July 201 with The Utica Boilermaker 15K in
Utica, New York.
PRRO has established an enhanced bonus payment pool, called the “Bump Up Bonus,” designed to reward athletes
who win one of the first five PRRO circuit events listed above and place in the top three at additional PRRO events
listed above during the 2014-2015 PRRO season.
Athletes who win one of the first five 2014-2015 PRRO races leading up to the Circuit Championship at the 2015
Boilermaker (2014 Boilermaker 15K, 2015 World’s Best 10K, 2015 Credit Union Cherry Blossom 10 Mile, 2015 Lilac
Bloomsday 12K and 2015 AJC Peachtree Road Race) are eligible for the PRRO Championship at the 2015 Boilermaker
on July 12, 2015. In 2015 the Championship bonus is $10,000 ($5,000 each if both an eligible man and woman win at
Boilermaker) on top of the Boilermaker prize money ($6,000 for first place).
The “Bump Up Bonus” provides an opportunity to win additional prize money by winning the Championship at
Boilermaker. The Bump Up Bonus works as follows: First, as before, an athlete must win one of the first five PRRO
circuit races leading up to the Championship to be eligible for the $10,000 Circuit Purse (split if an eligible male and
female win at Boilermaker). In addition to winning one circuit race, if the athlete finishes in the top three at one of the first
five non-championship circuit races, the athlete will have his or her bonus increased (if they win the Championship) by
$5,000 for the first additional top three finish; by an additional $2,000 for the second top three finish; and $2,000 for the
third additional top three finish. Athletes are thus eligible for up to $9,000 in Bump Up Bonuses, on top of the $10,000
Circuit Purse. This means each PRRO race winner could earn as much as $24,000 extra at Boilermaker if they win
there.

Boilermaker Volunteers
Peter DeStefano Award
Experienced Boilermaker runners know that the Boilermaker Volunteers are dedicated, compassionate
and hard working.
Peter DeStefano was one of those volunteers. Coach D, as he was known as, worked the Boilermaker
chute crew.
Coach D, a long-time coach and physical education instructor at Utica Free Academy, died in 1988.
The following year the Boilermaker instituted the Peter DeSefano Award. Each year it is presented to
the Boilermaker volunteer who most exemplifies the spirit of Coach D.
These are the previous winners of the Peter DeStefano Award:

stayed at the finish line of each race until the last runner came across. He knew that the runners, no matter what
their finishing time, showed courage, character and determination.
Bill Coughlin died in 1983, at the age of 55, just three months into his retirement. A DWI driver hit and killed
Coughlin during his daily run. The Boilermaker presents the Bill Coughlin Award to a runner who displays
courage, character and determination, and who responds to challenges in a positive way.
Now given out by the Rome Sports Hall of Fame.

Glossary
Age-graded results – A system of equalizing times for age gender – older participants’ times are adjusted
downward and open division participants’ times remain the same. This has the effect of putting all participants
within each gender on a level playing field, regardless of age.
Altitude training – Living and training at an altitude of 5,000 feet or higher. With altitude training, the body
produces more of the hormone erythropoietin, which boosts the oxygen – carrying capacity of the blood so that
more oxygen reaches the muscles with each heartbeat.
Athlete With Disability (AWD) – The term describes entrants with physical or other impairments that affect their
ability to ambulate. Many AWDs need to use mobility aids such as wheelchairs, handcycles, prosthetics, leg
braces, or crutches, and/ or have guides accompany them on the course.
B-chip – the next generation in UHF RFID single use tag timing: the B-tag that attached to the race bib. This
system was introduced in 2009.
ChampionChip – A small, lightweight device that attaches to the runner’s shoe and contains a transponder that
is activated when it passes over an antenna within mats placed on the road at the start line. The transponder
that transmits its unique identification number to antennae in mats is placed along the course and at the finish.
The chip provides participants with an accurate record of their net time and splits.
CR – Course record.
CronoTrak – is a transponder timing company that has developed a cost-effective timing system for athletic
events including road races. ChronoTrack has developed the single–use D-Tag, an all-weather design that
attaches to the shoe. In the fall of 2009, ChronoTrack announced the next generation in UHF RFID tag timing:
the B-tag that attached to the race bib.
D-Chip- a UHF RFID single use timing tag. The tag is an all-weather design that attaches to the shoe.
Dehydration and Hyponatremia – Dehydration occurs when fluid levels in the body get too low. Both heat and
high level physical activity can accelerate dehydration, leading to fatigue and heat illness. Hyponatremia, or low
blood sodium, is an adequate concentration of sodium in the body and can occur when a person takes in too
much fluid. Hyponatremia can lead to nausea, fatigue, vomiting, weakness, sleepiness, disorientation, and in
severe cases, coma or death.
DNF – Did not finish; dropped out of the race.
DNS – Did not start.
Electrolytes – Essential to the normal functioning of cells, electrolytes are chemical substances that contain
ions such as sodium and potassium. They are lost through sweat. Fluids, such as many sports drinks, can
replace electrolytes lost during activity.
Flats/ racing flats – Lightweight, non-spiked shoes worn by runners in competition.
49
Glycogen – The carbohydrates we eat are stored in the muscles and liver as glycogen. Performing an
endurance activity for more than two hours will greatly deplete the glycogen stores, resulting in “hitting the wall”
(see the wall).
Gun time/ net time – Gun time is measured from the official start of a race until participant crosses the finish
line. Net time is the time between when a participant crosses the start line and the finish line, recorded by the
ChampionChip. Finishing place is recorded by gun time; net time has no bearing on place.
Injuries – Common running injuries include:
Achilles tendonitis – heel pain caused by inflammation of the Achilles tendon.
ITB syndrome – pain and inflammation of the iliotibial band, a ligament that runs from under the outer
thigh behind the knee.
Planter fasciitis – a tear or inflammation of the tough band connective tissue along the bottom of the
foot that causes pain in the arch and heel.
Repetitive stress injury – an injury brought on by training too hard, too fast, or too long.
Runner’s knee – a.k.a chondramalacia, a painful wearing away of the cartilage under the kneecap.
Shin splints – an ache along the inside of the shin bone caused by a stress fracture, tibia tendonitis,
muscle tear, or an inflammation of the bone sheath in the shin area or of the tendons on the inside of
the front of the lower leg.
Stress fracture – a hairline bone break, usually brought on by repetitive stress.
Kick – A dramatic surge or increase in pace employed at the end of a race.
Kilometer – Approximately 0.62 mile.
Marathon – Named after the Greek town that launched the race at the first modern Olympic Games, in 1896. The
event arrived at its current distance, 26.2 miles, in England at the 1908 Olympics.
Masters division – In most running events, the masters division is for participants ages 40 and over.
Pace – In road racing, pace is usually expressed in terms per mile. For example, 5:30 pace means the mile is run
in five minutes, 30 seconds.
Pacemaker/pacesetter – A race entrant whose job is to lead the professional athletes at a specific pace.
Professional athlete – A term used to describe those entrants at the front of the field who are paid professionals
and are invited to races through their agents and managers.
PR (personal record)/ PB (personal best) – An athlete’s career best finishing time in a given event.
Rabbit – A runner enlisted by race officials to run with the professional field at a requested pace; the rabbit usually
drops out before the final stages.
50
Split/negative split – A split is the time it takes to complete a portion of a race. A negative split refers to completing
the second half of a race faster than the first half.
Surge – To speed up and pull away from a competitor or group of competitors.
Taper – To reduce the volume of training during the weeks leading up to an endurance event such as a marathon.
Most marathoners taper for at least two weeks prior to their goal race.
The wall – Physiologically, the point at which an athlete’s glycogen stores run dry.
WR – World record.
