Holiday Dash 5k Fun Family Walk/Run - Dec. 7

Calling all elves, reindeer and other holiday icons. Dress in your holiday colors or costumes for this fun, informal and unofficial run/walk. Please park at Ellsworth Park on Route 135. The route will travel beginning on Longfellow and through the Northgate neighborhoods that have sidewalks, little traffic and a flatter course. Please bring with you an unwrapped, new toy that will be distributed to kids in need (Toys for Tots, Northborough Helping Hands Adopt-A-Family program, or Friends of Families in Transit).

Hungry after 3 miles? Peaslee 5th graders are hosting a Pancake Breakfast until 10:30 am at 31 Maple Street.

The Northborough Holiday Trolley runs from noon - 5 pm and a tree lighting follows in the evening in downtown Northborough.
