Join us for another Long Point Trail Club Sunday run or hike! Everyone welcome. Pups allowed, but please keep them on a leash at all times and pick up after them.

With spring hanging in the air, we’re heading to Backus Woods—home to 25% of Canada’s species at risk. Expect big looping trails through old grown Carolinian forest, spring peepers, and lots of bird activity. Like always, we’ll have three (3) routes, with one route serving as a dedicated hiking route. All routes will be flagged at key intersections to support wayfinding. The Blue and Yellow (hiking) routes will be led by trail club volunteers; the Orange route will be self-guided.

Need to run longer? Ask the group! There’s often other people looking to put in some extra kms who will join you for another loop or two! These routes are great to loop.
