Itinerary:
We are promoting the year-round health benefits of walking and hiking on our events!

We will start out at the Royal Glenora Club at 6:55 PM sharp, pass through Kinsmen Park single track into Emily Murphy adventure trails & Parks beyond. We will then cross the Walterdale Bridge & head back towards the parking lot on a different loop.

We'll be meeting in the gravel parking lot on the East side of the Royal Glenora Club. Mark will have a blue EOC cap hanging on the antenna of his car so you can recognise him. After we return to the parking lot if you want extra exercise, you can go up & down the stairs nearby as many times as you want ;)

Difficulty: the walk will be at a "moderate-brisk" pace (approx 5km/h)
This urban hike will be about 9 km, with some potentially muddy sections.

Dogs are welcome on this hike, however they must be leashed because there is no off-leash area where we are going. If you are bringing your dog(s) please note this when you sign up for the event.
