Run/Walk to The Beaches from Leslieville

Come out for a walk/run along the Martin Goodman Trail to the Beaches with an option for Tommy Thompson Park. We will meet outside Pilot Coffee Roasters (983 Queen St E) at 9:00 AM and go over the route and the different distance options. We will leave at 9:10 am.

• **10 km **route: Starting from Pape Ave, go east on Queen St to Leslie St., south on Leslie St to Lake Shore Blvd, east on Lake Shore Blvd to Ashbridges Bay Park and follow the bike / running path eastward.
  At Woodbine Bathing Station switch from the paved path to the wooden boardwalk. When you reach the end of the boardwalk (at Silver Birch, beyond which there is only a sand beach) turn around and head back the same route.
• 7 km: Same as 10 km route, except the turnaround point is are tennis courts.
• If you would like to run further or somewhere different, there is a option to add or start a run down to Tommy Thompson Park at the end of Leslie St.

After the Run/Walk (around 10:30am), we will gather at the Pilot Coffee Roasters to re-hydrate and swap stories. Pilot Coffee is a great spot to start and end a run. And, of course, they have a washroom!

What you need: comfortable running gear and come hydrated. If you don't have running gear yet, consider going to Black Toe, The Runners Shop, or the Running Room (various locations across the city) and asking for their advice.
