Itinerary:

So, brand new hike I'm leading this evening, where about 5 KM of it is completely new to me.

This 9.5 KM hike will both start and finish at Finch West Station.

The hike will be on a combination of paved park paths, sidewalks, grassy fields and single track dirt trails.

In terms of hills, there should be 1 of about 25 meters and 1 of about 50 meters.

I'll attempt to stop for a washroom break at the Oakdale Community Centre, located about 6 KM into the hike.
If that doesn't work, there should be the option of in Derrydown Park, located about 7.5 KM into the hike.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE IS AN EARLY SUBWAY CLOSURE ON LINE 2 BETWEEN KIPLING AND ISLINGTON STATION STARTING AT 11 PM

    Event Directions:

    We'll meet at the Finch West Subway Station, which is located on line 1, two stops north of Sheppard West and & 4 stations south of Vaughan Metropolitan Centre at the Keele Street EAST EXIT.

    For those of you exciting the subway, follow the signs to the bus platform (excluding the Keele South Bus) or exit the subway platform from the north side and head up the stairs.
    If you do not know where the north side of the platform is, then follow the direction of the northbound train.

    Look for me in the BLUE Toronto Outdoor Club shirt,

    For those of you driving, the entrance is located on the east side of Keele Street, one traffic light north of Finch. In terms of parking, there is a TTC lot located just north of the station.
