Fall Routes

Comments

Read Now
 
As we move deeper in to fall the routes, like the weather will start to change.
Although we still have access to some great single track options, we want the run to be social, fun and accessible to everyone.
Rather than plan a route for the entire month, we will start rotating through different options weekly to maintain some variety as our options start to dwindle and winter kicks in.

TCT Out & Backs - as the light drops these routes will provide some wider, steadier footing until OWWT grooming season begins.

Road & Track - we'll start to add in some neighborhood routes and track options (Franco West track), including a combination of TCT and road.

Monthly night time trail run - in Oct, Nov & Dec expect to see one week with a fun single track route.  Trail shoes and headlamps required, alternate TCT route available.

Remote Route Nights - we don't always need to start from the same location; if you have a favorite trail close by, talk to Mike about a remote location night!


Routes are posted weekly on Sunday's on Instagram - @monrun613

Another great, shady route for the warm weather of July!
  1. Starting from the brewery, head north on the TCT (800m),
  2. East on the single track towards P4 turning right and crossing Timm road at the first trail (625m)
  3. Across Timm Rd. continue straight down the hill (single track) passing the log cabin ruins (on the right), keep straight for 730m.
  4. As the path curves right take 'High Line' trail to the left up the rock cut, winding to the left through the hydro cut to the 417 lookout (600m).  If you miss 'High Line', no worries, go left at the T on the wider 4x4 trail, they will meet up after the hydro cut.
  5. Take the short, rocky trail north (right) back to the TCT just before the 417 look out (100m),
  6. Head right on the TCT back west towards the brewery, crossing back over Timm Rd (1400m) and the last section of trail back to the bridge (1000m). 

TCT / Greenbelt Pathway West is winding, wide gravel - road shoes are fine but keep an eye out for bicycle traffic. 
The other trails noted are a mix of winding packed forest floor with roots and other hazards, as you head towards the hydro cut it becomes rocky with loose rock, gaps and shallow (potentially slippery) puddles.   Trail shoes are recommended!

The shade of this 5k loop will serve us well as the temperature rises. 
Clockwise
1. you have the choice of a short run around Priam Way, accessing the trail from the small park, or heading west on the TCT and taking the single track.
