Itinerary:

So, brand new hike for this evening.

This 7.5 KM hike will both start and finish at the Canadian Tire near Mount Olive Station.

The hike will be on a combination of sidewalks, grassy fields, paved multi use trails and single track dirt trails

In terms of hills, there should be one climb of about 25 meters.

I'll attempt to stop for a washroom break at Esther Lorrie Park, located about 3 KM into the hike.

    • How to Get There:
    Event Directions:

    We'll meet beside the Canadian Tire Entrance across the parking lot from Mount Olive Line 6 LRT station.

    For those of you taking transit, just take the Finch West LRT to Mount Olive Station (Kipling Avenue).
    From there, cross over to the south-west side the intersection, and walk through the parking lot to the Canadian Tire.

    In terms of driving, you should be able to park outside the Canadian Tire.
    The Canadian Tire is part of the Albion Mall Shopping Center located at 1530 Albion Rd.

    Look for me in the BLUE Toronto Outdoor Club shirt, standing outside.
    In unfavorable weather, I'll just be standing inside the automatic doors.
