Saturday Morning Winter Trail Runs

 Just a heads up.....

The Saturday morning trail runs are at our winter hiatus location: Medway Forest Trails starting at the Museum of Ontario Archaeology parking lot located at 1600 Attawandaron Rd off of Wonderland just south of Fanshawe Park Road.

Winter Hiatus Location

 As of  November 5th 2022, we will revert to our winter hiatus location, Medaway Forest Trail.

We do this, as most of our other trail locations do not have snow removal and there are days we spend more time pushing cars out of snow drifts than we do running.

The Museum of Ontario Archeological, 1600 Attawandaron Rd, London, ON parking lot that is at the trail head is generally plowed of snow, so we take advantage of this.

It's "Champagne and Mars Bar Trail Run" Time

 Yes, its our favorite time of the trail running season when we get chocolate and bubbly wine at the finish line.

When and where: Saturday October 29th at Komoka Trails

Start time: as always is 8:01 AM

Distance: Full loop is about 9.5kms but can be cut short for those who want to get to the chocolate and booze before the speedsters.

Please note that we park on Oxford Street West, just before Woodhull Road and the United Church

This is our protest to the pay for parking installed a few years ago.

Slow Down and Enjoy the View

Love Mud?? Then you must really love Westminster Ponds Trail

Westminster Ponds did not disappoint, there was rain, then sun, plus LOTS of shoe sucking mud.

Terry said it best "There was mud even in places there shouldn't have been mud"

At least there was no mud on the boardwalk section at the end of the run.

I finally found a dry spot.

The Veteran's War Memorial, tucked away behind the hospital, just off the trail.

The sky cleared and the sun popped out, on the final  leg of the run

Taking some mud home as a trophy
