EVENT DETAILS

So, once a month I get a massage and I'm always tired for about 24 hours after. However, I still like to get some fresh air and exercise, so this will be just be a short slower urban hike.

Today's 5 KM hike will be a loop both starting and finishing at Broadview Station.

This hike will be a combination of sidewalks, gravel and park paths.

I believe there's just one hill on this route, right at the end of the hike.

We'll stop for a washroom break about 45 minutes into the route.

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'.
