On Saturday, July 13th, 2013 one of the most popular Boilermaker events of the year is happening. The Utica National Kids' Run is in its 25th year and it's lots of fun for kids and parents alike. The event at Mohawk Valley Community College offers kids exposure to the sport of running while introducing them to the spirit of the Boilermaker.

This is a non-competitive event for the kids who'll receive a t-shirt, a gift, and refreshments after the run. In addition, all runners’ names will be published in the Utica Observer-Dispatch, which gives parents a great opportunity to record their child’s participation.

So join Townsquare Media at the starting line as we'll provide fun upbeat music to get you in the mood.

All the details regarding Saturday's and Sunday's Boilermaker events can be found at their website.
