CYC Boiling Pot 5K-2026, Kids Free Fun Run
The Boiling What? The Boiling Pot 5K gets its name from the Iroquois origin of “Canajoharie,” which is believed to mean “the pot that washes itself.” This refers to the Canajoharie Boiling Pot—a circular gorge in Canajoharie Creek located just south of the village. If you haven’t seen it before, it’s definitely worth a visit! You can access it at the end of Floral Avenue in the Village of Canajoharie. Run For What Rock?

The C.Y.C Inc. provides life-enriching, affordable activities in a safe environment to 300 youths from 5 local municipalities. Activities include an after-school program, Biddy Basketball and a five-week summer program. Again, this year we're partnering with NBT Bank and closing off Mohawk Street to allow for an expanded start/finish ar
