Itinerary:

Welcome to my Hike For A Pint Series, where we'll be walking to either a brewery or interesting pub in the city.
The group size will be capped based on either reservation size or however many people I think I can get into a location.

You must be 19 or older to sign up for this hike.

Today's 8 KM hike will traverse between Runnymede Station to a mystery pub near the corner of Dufferin & King.

If you register for this event, I'm going to ask that you come to the pub because:

1. you could be taking a spot away from someone on the wait list who otherwise wanted to attend.

2. Also because I could have a reservation and they are expecting a certain amount of people.

This hike will be on a combination of sidewalks, paved park paths and gravel trails.

In terms of hills, there are a few staircases, but nothing too crazy.

In terms of washrooms, we'll stop at 3 KM into Budepest Park.

I usually carry a pair of icers with me from the first snowfall of the year until the end of April, so I recommend having a pair in your pack to deal with any potential ice.
You can find the pair I use, 'here from Amazon'.

Required Items to Bring:

Hiking boots or hiking shoes

Water 1-2 L and snacks

Weather appropriate clothing

Money for the pub

Recommended Items to Bring:
Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.
