13k - Sheppard/Earl Bales Park/North Toronto Point-to-Point

An easy point-to-point run starting at Sheppard subway station and looping around to Davisville station.

Winter Advice: Find an alternative to Earl Bales Park in the winter, as the park gets very icy (trust me on this).

  • From Yonge Street and Sheppard Avenue, run west
  • After crossing the bridge over the Don River, turn left (south) down Don River Boulevard
  • Turn right at the bottom of the hill, and follow the path along through Earl Bales Park (note: winter advice above)
  • Immediately after passing the bridge into the Don Valley Golf Course, turn right then quickly left along a wide track away from the main path
  • Turn right onto Westgate Boulevard (not signposted), and climb out of the valley
  • Follow Westgate Blvd through to Southbourne Avenue
  • Turn left (west) onto Southbourne then left (south) onto Bathurst Street
  • At the first set of lights, turn left (east) onto Wilson Avenue
  • Follow Wilson for about 1.5km, then turn right (southeast) onto Yonge Boulevard.
  • Turn right (south) onto Ridley Boulevard, then right again (east) onto Old Orchard Grove
  • Turn left (south) onto Greer Road
  • When Greer Road ends at Chatsworth Drive, head diagonally right onto Cheritan Avenue
  • Turn left and drop down towards the baseball diamond
  • Follow the trail on your left down through Chatsworth Ravine and up to Duplex Avenue, before dropping down again into Duplex Parkette and emerging onto Yonge Street
  • Head south to the finish at Davisville Avenue.

Here's the map and the stats from my run.

TTC Info: This run starts at Sheppard subway station and ends at Davisville station.
