Have you been good all year?? According to German Folklore Saint Nicholas rewards good children with sweets and gifts and Krampus punishes bad ones with switches and on occasion Krampus kidnaps the misbehaved by putting them in a sack or basket to haul away to the underworld! On November 28th at 10am the Krampus 5k run and 1 mile walk will take place at the Utica Maennerchor Club at 5535 Flanagan Rd Marcy, NY 13403! This is an out and back course starting from the Maennerchor, up to the SUNY Polytechnic Institute campus finishing back at the club. Let's see who can get back without getting caught by Krampus and ensure St. Nicholas will visit you this Christmas!!

The Utica Maennerchor is non-profit and is one of the last surviving institutions established by a vibrant German immigrant community 161 years ago in1865. The charter of the Utica Maennerchor adopted back then was and still is ““…the object of UMC shall be charitable and for the study of the German language and culture and fostering of German American singing.””. Twice a year the Maennerchor’s chorus, along with invited other choruses, put on a concert singing songs in both German and English. This year’s concerts promoted the country’s 250th anniversary. During the concerts, the Maennerchor makes a cash donation to other organizations within the community such as the Maynard Volunteer Fire Department, The House of the Good Shepard, CABVI and many others over the years.
