Itinerary:

So, my boy "Rupak" inspired me to do this route after completing something similar in May.

This 11.5 KM hike will both start and finish at Yorkdale Subway Station.

For those of you who don't want to complete the entire hike, there are a few drop off locations:
- 4.5 KM at Lawrence West Station
- 5.5 KM at Glencairn Station
- 7.5 KM again at Glencairn Station

The hike will be on a combination of Sidewalks, paved park paths, a gravel trail and a dirt path.

In terms of hills, there should be none over 25 meters.

I'll attempt to stop for a washroom break at Viewmount Park, located about 5.5 KM into the hike.

How to Get There:

Event Directions:

Yorkdale Subway Station is located on Line 1 of the Yonge/University subway line (University side).

To find the exit from the subway (go out of the North exit of the station).
If you do not know where the north exit is, then follow the direction of the northbound train)
After passing through the presto gates, follow the signs to the passenger pickup exit.

We'll meet just outside the station and down the stairs of the passenger pickup.

For those driving, the subway entrance is located on the road that goes to the 401 under the subway tracks.

In terms of parking, you should be able to park at Yorkdale mall (if you dare).
Another option is to park on Alcester Court, with is about a 5 minute walk from the station and has free parking on weekends.
