THETFORD — The Clara Martin Center’s Color Splash 5K in May has been canceled.
The race, which had been slated for May 17 on Thetford Academy’s Woods Trail, was called off in light of statewide social distancing efforts. “We don’t want to put anyone at risk with such a large gathering,” the center said in an email statement.
The Clara Martin Center will reach out to runners already registered to prepare refunds or to apply fees toward next year’s Color Splash 5K, depending on interest.

The UVTA encourages participants in the program to continue remaining physically active outdoors. As for taking advantage of incentive prizes for participating, all should check business websites or call before cashing in rewards.
Meanwhile, because of virus-induced school closures, the deadline for Back Flaps has been extended to April 10, with the grand prize raffle moved to April 13. Visit www.uvtrails.org for more information.
