WHITESBORO, N.Y. — There are only eight weeks left until the Boilermaker Road Race in Utica. To prepare, hundreds of runners participated in the Boilermaker’s annual Erie Canal Races Sunday morning.<\/p>\n

The races included a 10-mile run, a two-person 10-mile relay, and a 5k. All courses started at the Whitesboro High school Track before traversing along the Erie Canalway trail and finishing back at the high school.<\/p>\n

For first-time Boilermaker runners like the Go the Distance team, the Erie Canal Races were a great way to get ready for that second Sunday in July.<\/p>\n

“What’s important is they get a race under their belt where they’re at a starting line, and they’re running with a good group of people . Most of all is to pace themselves. Run with a group, be conscientious of everybody, and mainly just to have fun and a nice strong finish” said Go The Distance Head Coach Joe Wilczynski.<\/p>\n

For those unable to attend the canal races in person, there were virtual 10-mile & 5k options!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"WHITESBORO, N.Y. — There are only eight weeks left until the Boilermaker Road Race in Utica.
