EVENT DETAILS

So, brand new hike, not picked randomly from my personal hiking database.

This 11.5 KM hike will start at Chester Station and end at Victoria Park Subway Station.
We'll start hard by taking the single track biking trail of Donaconda - However if its wet or raining, I'll have to skip this section due to safety.
Before getting a bit easier on the flats
finishing up with an easier walk along the paved path in Taylor Creek

This hike will be on a combination for neighbourhood sidewalks, paved paths and single track dirt trails.

In terms of hills, there are about 2 climbs of 25 meters and 1 climb of about 45 meters. Also, a tough 25 meter staircase towards the end of the hike.

Sadly the one option for washrooms on the trail, will most likely be closed. Sorry about that.

We'll aim for a pace of 4.5-5.5 km/h.
