EVENT DETAILS

So, the random hike generator has picked this bit of a weird route for your evening.

This hike will be on a combination of paved paths, neighborhoods, some single track trails and even through an old cemetery.

This 11 KM will go between North York Centre Station and Sheppard-Yonge Station. For those of you looking for a shorter option, we will pass York Mills Station at about the 5 KM mark.

In terms of hills, I believe there are 3 on this hike.

Sadly, I don't believe that there will be any washrooms on this route.

    • How to Get There:
    Event Directions:

    We'll meet outside the Starbucks at North York Centre Subway Station. The Starbucks is located on the west of Yonge St and on the north side of Mel Lastman Square and across the street from Empress Walk Mall.

    For those driving:

    There is street parking in the area, west of Beecroft Rd

    Or, there's a pay parking lot on the North- East corner at Empress/Park Home and Yonge Street, which is three traffic lights north of Sheppard Ave. Then it's just a short walk to the Starbucks, which is located on the south-west side.

    Look for me in the Blue Toronto Outdoor Club T-Shirt.
