The Walking Loop

Marathon boasts a charming walking loop that’s a favorite among locals, especially during warm summer evenings. This leisurely stroll winds through the heart of the community, guiding you along a network of well-maintained sidewalks. The main loop covers approximately 4.4 km (2.7 mi) and encircles the town, allowing you to soak in the local sights and sounds. For those seeking a shorter route, there’s a second loop that cuts through Sund Crescent, Birch Drive, and Steedman Drive. A great place to start the loop is at the Marathon District Museum where you can learn about the town’s history and see the Group of Seven interpretive installation. Whether you’re admiring the quaint houses, chatting with neighbors, or simply enjoying the fresh air, the Walking Loop offers a delightful way to connect with the community.
