The City of Hopkinsville is glad to announce that the expansion of the Greenway System is now open to the public, just in time for Thanksgiving weekend.
According to a news release, the expansion—which includes the new walking bridge over the intersection of Country Club Lane and Lafayette Road—is completed following many months of construction. The public is invited to enjoy the now nearly 5-mile path for walking, jogging and biking; however, trail-goers are encouraged to use the space safely by paying close attention to social distancing and other Health Department pandemic guidelines.
The new trail will also be home to the secondary route available for the virtual Turkey Trot, where people will run or walk in their own time. Signs for both 5K Turkey Trot routes will remain in place on the Rail Trail into December, so runners or walkers can cover the course whenever they choose.
