EVENT DETAILS

So, the random hike picker has selected this route for today.

Tonight's 9.5 KM route will traverse from Main Street Station to Kennedy Station.
Some interesting spots include

  • 'Taylor Creek Park'.
  • 'Warden Woods'.
  • 'The Neighbourhood Of Golden Mile'.
  • 'The Neighbourhood Of Ionview'.

    • This hike will be on a combination of sidewalks, paved paths, a grassy field (which might be wet) and a single track dirt path.

    In terms of hills, probably about 2 climbs of at least 25 meters.

    We'll aim for a pace of 4.5-5.5 km/h.

    I don't believe that there will be any washrooms open on the hike this time of the year, so I would suggest coming early and using the Tim Horton located just south of Main Street Station.

    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 from Amazon'.

    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.
