EVENT DETAILS

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

This 11 KM hike will travel between Islington Station to Runnymede Station.

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

The hike will be on a combination paved paths, neighbourhood sidewalks, single track dirt trails, gravel paths.

In terms of hills, there's a pretty challenging set of 40m stairs towards the end of the hike, otherwise there are no climbs over 25 meters.

We'll attempt to use the washroom on the waterfront trail, located about 7.5 KM into the hike.

    We'll meet at Islington Subway Station at the east exit to Islington Avenue
    To get to the east side from the presto gates, exit the gates and take the stairs leading down to the passage, which will bring you to the east side.
    The meet point is also located just outside Bloor Islington Place.
    If its cold or wet, I'll either be just inside the station doors.

    For those of you driving, we're meeting on the north east side of Islington & Bloor.
    In terms of parking, you can park for free after 5 PM on both Clissold Rd & Green Lanes, which are the two roads west of Islington.
