Join us for another Long Point Trail Club Sunday run or hike! Everyone welcome—bring your friends, kids, or pups ( but please keep your pups on a leash at all times and pick up after them).
We’re celebrating May 2-4 with something off-road and a little different. We’re heading to the beach! The Yellow (hiking) Route and the Orange Route will run along the beach, while the Blue Group will tackle Old Hill and return via the scenic East Ridge trails with views over the lake. Routes will not be flagged. But key turnarounds are provided below. The blue route and the yellow route will be led by Trail Club volunteers, while the orange route will be self-guided.
We’re aiming for everyone to get back within the hour for some post-run (non-alc) cold ones on the tailgate. We’ll provide cold drinks and snacks (or bring your own). Let’s celebrate the start of another great warm-weather season and get ready for summer!
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.
RSVP on Strava or our Facebook Group.
