MARLBOROUGH, MA — You don’t have to go to Hopkinton to complete a marathon now that Marlborough’s Panther Trail is in place.
City officials will dedicate the 26.2-mile Panther Trail Friday, celebrating the completion of a loop that travels through Marlborough’s most notable green places — from the Assabet River Rail Trail to Callahan State Park and Williams Lake.
The city began working on the Panther Trail several years ago as part of a larger recreation plan. A 12-1/2 mile section jogging west from Marlborough High School and looping around to Ward Park via Millham Reservoir, the Felton Conservation Land and Williams Lake was already in place.
Friday’s celebration will mark the completion of the roughly 13-mile eastern half of the trail, which continues from near Ward Park east to the edge of the Sudbury Reservoir, through Callahan State Park and Ghiloni Park and finally back to the high school.
But the route is much more detailed, and passes through many neighborhoods and other opens spaces. See the full map here.
