Itinerary:

TTC Line 2 (Bloor-Danforth) closed between St. George and Pape! More information at TTC website.

A nice, relatively flat hike across the city with one hill towards the end of the hike. I'm hoping to walk a moderate pace (4 - 4.5 km/hr.). The entire route is about 9 km. br>

This hike is for people who want to go at slow but steady pace. This means will try to walk continuously for the entire event, only taking short breaks to re- group / water.

1. Meet at Victoria Park Station (inside the station near the ticket booth)
2. Hike along Taylor Creek Park
3. Go south along the Don Valley Trail
4. Up Beechwood Dr.
5. Through some lovely East York neighbourhoods
6. End at Chester Station / Big Carrot

Please arrive on time as we will be leaving by 10:35 and I will be turning off my phone during the hike.
