EVENT DETAILS

So, I've got a dentist appointment this afternoon, so I have to stay local for a hike.

This one is a bit of a challenging one with 4 hills to make you suffer.

Overall, the hike is about 12 KM and will start / finish at North York Centre Station.

This hike will be a combination of wide cemetery roads, grassy fields, single track dirt trails and gravel/paved paths, so a little bit of everything.

I have a plan for a washroom break about 1 hour into the hike.

Hiking boots or hiking shoes

Snacks & Water

Weather appropriate clothing

Headlight or flashlight

Mask / Face Covering

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.
