An annual sled dog race in New Hampshire that usually attracts hundreds of people has been canceled this year because of concerns about the coronavirus pandemic.
The Laconia World Championship Sled Dog Derby had been scheduled for Feb. 12-14.
“Everywhere we turned we couldn’t make it work because of COVID,” Jim Lyman, president of the Lakes Region Sled Dog Club, told The Laconia Daily Sun on Friday.
Lyman said that social distancing restrictions would have prohibited the traditional spectator viewing areas.
