Go The Distance

Go The Distance Go the Distance, now in its 28th year, is NEWSChannel 2's Boilermaker training program.

Every year, the Go the Distance committee selects 10 first-time Boilermaker runners to be on the team, and their journeys to the finish line are documented. Go The Distance is a group that trains people to run the Boilermaker 15K Road Race. WKTV and Boilermaker running experts work to train dozens each and every year. 10 new participants are featured each year during NEWSChannel 2 Newscasts.

Hey GTD 2026! Jason here. Please please please hydrate. You should already be doing so but this coming Monday could approach 90 degrees and we have not trained in high heat yet. Our water stops will be key. Thank you well in advance, and as always, to our volunteers led by chief hydrating technician Sue Wilczynski.
For those running tomorrow or Sunday in the Erie Canal races, best of luck!
I will see you at the finish line on Monday.

Tonight's run is cancelled because of the weather! Stay safe.
