What we’re about
Our purpose is to have frequent, casual, energetic hiking events that fit easily into busy lives. Many of our hikes range from 5km to 10km, within 1.5 to 2 hours. We stick (mostly) to established well-groomed trails so we can keep the pace lively. Sometimes we breathe hard climbing and descending large hills challenging ourselves. We enjoy nature, watching the seasons change and embracing the additional challenge this brings. Besides all the physical benefits hiking provides, we aim to have fun, enjoy good conversation while building friendships along the way.
There will usually be a few hikes per week, somewhere around Scarborough, Pickering, Ajax, Uxbridge, Oshawa and Bowmanville. We'll often have weekend hikes that are a little longer (sometimes MUCH longer) and sometimes travel much further if there's an adventure to be had.
Also see our current Rules and Liability Waiver as part of your participation.
That's about it! If you have any questions, please contact somebody in the leadership team.
