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 7 KM hike will traverse between Main Street Station to a mystery pub near the corner of Main Street & Gerrard.

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, grassy fields & single track dirt trails.

In terms of hills, there will be one 50 meter climb towards the end of the hike.

In terms of washrooms, I'll stop at a Tim Hortons located about 3.5 KM into the hike.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE IS A SUBWAY CLOSURE ON LINE 1 BETWEEN ST ANDREW AND ST GEORGE STATION THIS WEEKEND

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 ON 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:

How to Get There:

Event Directions:

Main Street Subway Station is located on the eastern side of the Bloor/Danforth subway line.

We'll meet just outside the station. If it's cold or wet, I'll just be inside the station doors.

For those driving, the subway entrance is located on Main Street, just north of Danforth on the east side.
In terms of parking, you can park on Main Street north of Danforth after 6 PM.
