Scheduled for June 14 in Litchfield, CT, the preliminary notice of cancellation for the 44th Litchfield Hills 7.1M race was distributed on April 9followed by an official declaration shortly thereafter. Full refunds were offered.

 

From spokesperson and longtime committee member Beth Murphy:

 

All:

 

It is with heavy heart that I write to you all to let you know that the Board has decided to cancel this year’s race. With all that is happening right now, it was very unlikely that we would have had permission to gather and the health and safety of our families and Community was the most important factor in this decision.

 

We will look forward to an outstanding and special  race in 2021 so rest up!!

 

Stay home and safe; and for those of you who may have to be working, thank you for all that you are doing to keep us safe.

 

Beth and the entire Board of Directors
