CANTON, April 7, 2020 – The fifth annual Burlington to Collinsville Classic 10K road race has been postponed until Saturday, July 25, due to the COVID-19 pandemic and public event rules put in place by the state of Connecticut.

Hosted by the Hartford Marathon Foundation (HMF), the race begins at the Lake Garda School in Burlington and joins the Farmington Valley River trail in Farmington, races along the Farmington River into Burlington and concludes in Collinsville after running over the old railroad bridge over the Farmington River.
