A fairly hilly point-to-point route from Christie subway to Davisville/Mount Pleasant. Mainly road running, although if run during the day or early evening it would be easy to switch parts for tarmac/trails.
- From Christie subway station, head north to Davenport
- Turn right for a few hundred metres, then head north up through Wychwood Park
- Head north up Wychwood Ave to Benson Avenue, and head west. Continue along the street as it becomes Rosemount Avenue, and follow that to the end
- Turn north up Greenlaw Avenue to St. Clair Avenue West
- Head west briefly, then north up Harvie Avenue to Eglinton
- Note: If you get here before 8pm, you can run through Prospect Cemetary, which was recommended to me and was the reason I came this way. Unfortunately the cemetary closes at 8pm weekdays
- Turn right onto Eglinton, and head along to Winnett Avenue
- Turn right (south) onto Winnett, then left on Ava Road. Turn right into Cedarvale Park
- Head left mid-way through Cedarvale and out onto Markdale Avenue. Follow that to Bathurst , then Bathurst down to Tichester Road
- Note: You can follow Cedarvale all the way down to Tichester - it was late (and therefore pitch black) when I ran this and I didn't feel like risking it, but it would be a nicer run
- Head east on Tichester Road (which becomes Heath Street) along to Alvin Avenue, just east of Yonge
- Note: You can head up to Davisville station from Yonge if you prefer
- Run south down to St. Clair Avenue East, along to Mount Pleasant, and up to the finish at Merton Street.
Here's the map and my run stats.
TTC Info: This point-to-point run starts at Christie station and ends near Davisville station.

You are running right through my 'hood!
How cool is Wychwood Park? If I ever win the lottery, that's definitely where I will buy a house!
