Description
Connect with us & like minded folks on Bruce Trail day for a fun and inclusive trail run to Smokey Hollow & back. This will be for all types and paces of trail runners, lead by Kristy & Phil. You will need running shoes, a handheld water bottle or running vest with whatever you need for a 1.5-2hr run. Dress in comfortable running clothes appropriate for the weather - we will go rain or shine : ) No one will get left behind, but the expectation is that you have run before, understand what you're signing up for and be physically capable to complete the route. There are some uphill sections, and while a lot of this route is flat, there are rocks and roots to be watchful of. Arrive with time to join the group and get started by 9am.
We'll run at a group pace, meeting at the Cityview park south entrance parking lot -
The run will begin on the Cityview Side Trail, continuing right onto the Main trail where we will follow the white blazes to the Smokey Hollow Side Trail to take a quick break for the group to gather and take in the rushing water & gorgeous views of Great Falls on the Grindstone creek. We'll turn around and head back towards Cityview Park with a detour back through the King Side Trail to the main trail where you can head back to the Bruce Trail day info booths, or continue on for a little bit longer with a loop of the Ian Reid side trail or explore the Kerncliff Park Side Trail and boardwalk.
