Ever wonder where Canajoharie got its name? This 5K celebrates the Iroquois origin of the town's name—"the pot that washes itself"—which refers to the stunning Boiling Pot, a circular gorge in Canajoharie Creek that you can visit at the end of Floral Avenue. Finishers receive one-of-a-kind handcrafted trophies made with rocks from the Boiling Pot itself, and your entry fee supports the Community Youth Center Inc., which provides affordable after-school programs, basketball leagues, and summer activities to 300 young people across five local municipalities.
