The storm that felled trees across Morristown last week has cut the The Verizon Corporate Classic 5K  down to size, too.

Postponed by police because of the weather on July 14, 2016, the race will try again on Thursday, Aug. 4– as an untimed two-miler.

Start time is 7:30 pm at the Atno Avenue parking lot of Morristown High School, according to the race website.

It’s the second time that the race has been downsized in recent years. In 2013, a sizzling heat wave prompted organizers to scale down the event.
