After the hike, I will take any interested hikers to a local pizza joint for a slice, but this part of the event is optional. This pizzeria features greasy 2am style pizza slices. There are several different types of slices, including a few vegetarian options.

How to Get There:

Event Directions:

Runnymede Station is on the Bloor-Danforth Subway (also known as Line 2) located at the corner of Bloor St W and Runnymede Rd.

We will meet at the Runnymede Rd entrance (NOT the Kennedy Ave entrance). Look for me with a black backpack and a Blue Jays cap or dark blue toque with a hilarious pompom.

Notes:

Please plan to arrive before the posted start time, we will be leaving immediately at 6:30pm. I will turn my phone off once we begin, so any calls or messages will likely not be returned until the end of the hike.

The hike will go forward rain or shine or snow. A high risk of a thunderstorm (80%+) 24 hours prior may result in postponement or cancellation.
