EVENT DETAILS

So, I've randomly selected a hike out of my personal urban hiking database for today's hike.

This 9.5 KM hike will travel between North York Centre Station & Finch Station.

PACE: We'll aim for a quicker pace of 4.5- 5.5 km/h

The hike will be on a combination of cemetery roads, single track dirt trails, some sidewalks and paved park paths.

In terms of hills, there's probably about 1 climb of 25 meters.

I'll attempt to stop at a city of Toronto washroom about 45 minutes into the hike, but no guarantees that it will be open.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS HIKE IS STARTING AT 7 PM RATHER THAN MY TRADTIONAL 7:30 START TIME, IN ORDER TO GET THROUGH THE CEMETERY BEFORE IT CLOSES AND WE GET LOCKED IN WITH THE GHOSTS

PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE IS A EARLY SUBWAY CLOSURE BETWEEN ST CLAIR AND COLLEGE STATION AT 11 PM

    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.
