Sports
| Running / Walking / Hiking |
There are plenty of quiet streets to walk or run through. You can also do laps on the Alumni Field track and get ready for the annual Monster.com 5 Mile Road Race that takes place in early September.The Maynard Conservation Commission maintains a number of trails in town which provide a way to enjoy nature right here in Maynard and the Assabet River National Wildlife Refuge provides a space for walkers to enjoy nature. |
| Cycling | Cycling in Maynard is almost an oxymoron – you can pretty much cycle through Maynard in about 8 minutes… The Assabet River Rail Trail will create a cycling path from Marlborough to Acton. If you are into distance riding and racing, you might want to check out the Minuteman Road Club. |
