Itinerary:

So, I really like the Swansea neighbourhood in Toronto.
For one, its absolutely beautiful there.
Second, there are typically a lot of hills, so its a good workout.
Most importantly for tonight's hike, Swansea has a whole bunch of secret passages which are always fun to explore.

This 10 KM hike will start at Jane Subway Station and end at Runnymede Station.

The hike will be on a combination of sidewalks, park paths, grass fields and muddy single track dirt trails.

In terms of hills, there should be 8 hills of at least 25 meters, 2 of which are 50 meters.

I'll attempt to stop for a washroom break at the Swansea Community Recreation Centre located about 4.5 KM into the hike.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE IS A EARLY SUBWAY CLOSURE BETWEEN KEELE AND KIPLING STATION AT 11 PM TONIGHT

How to Get There:

Event Directions:

Jane Subway Station is located on the Bloor Subway (Line 2), 10 stops west of St. George and 4 stops east of Kipling.

There are a couple exits at Jane Station. Look for me at the exit closest to Jane Street, near the bus entrance.
If its cold or wet, I'll just be in the station doors.

For those of you driving, the station entrance is located on the north east side of Jane/Bloor.
In terms of parking, there's a parking lot located one block east of Jane and just north of Bloor.

Look for me in the BLUE Toronto Outdoor Club shirt,
