From the Organizer
The Syracuse Track Club is bringing back the Boilermaker bus again in 2026!
The perks: Bring food, clothes, and beverages with you. Experience a relaxing ride to the start line, a change of clothes and your favorite snack waiting for you at the finish line. Make new friends or reminisce with old friends before and after “Best 15k in the country” … as announced at the start of the race every year. This has always been a great time with fond memories of post-race glory and lore.
Logistics: bus pickup is at 340 Montgomery St, Syracuse NY 13202 (in front of the downtown YMCA). Departing Syracuse at 5:45 heading to the start line, bus will drop off and wait at the start line until just before the start of the race. Bus will reposition to the finish line awaiting your return with your “valuables” a board. Departure is 1:00 from Utica.
