EVENT DETAILS

So, I actually picked this relatively difficult hike for your October evening.

I've rated this hike as a D4 as we'll been taking a few of the difficult mountain biking trails in the Don Valley @ night.
Some of the trails are quite slippery and a bit sketchy, and I plan on walking quite quickly with limited stops, so please consider that when choosing to register.

This urban hike is one of my favorites, because its pretty challenging.
There are at least 8 challenging hills, along with several rolling slopes.
Much of the hike will be on muddy paths, so hiking boots/shoes will be mandatory.

Tonight's 14.5 KM hike will go between St. Clair Station to Broadview Station.

Sadly, there won't be any washroom stops on this route, but there are plenty of options near the start point at St. Clair.

As I prefer not to lose anyone, I will be taking a smaller group than normal for this hike.
