15k - Yonge/York Mills/Bayview/Eglinton Loop

A simple 15km loop from Yonge & Eglinton that heads north, east through the affluent York Mills neighbourhood, then south via Bayview Avenue. Relatively flat, although you will have to deal with the infamous "Hogg's Hollow."

Note: During winter, sidewalks on Yonge Street (north of York Mills Road) and Bayview Avenue (north of Lawrence Avenue) may be unplowed. Tread carefully in those areas to avoid injury.

  • From Yonge Street & Eglinton Avenue, head north on Yonge
  • Continue north for about 5km, passing Lawrence Avenue and York Mills Road
  • Turn right (east) just south of Highway 401 onto Lord Seaton Road
  • Turn left (north) onto Upper Canada Drive and follow the road as it bends eastwards
  • Turn right (south-east) onto Montressor Drive
  • Turn left (south-east) onto Toba Drive
  • Turn right (south-west) onto Fifeshire Road. Follow Fifeshire as it bends left and heads east
  • Turn right (south) onto Bayview Avenue
  • Continue south on Bayview to Eglingon Avenue East
  • Turn right (west) onto Eglinton Avenue
  • Head west on Eglinton and back to the start/finish at Yonge Street.

Here's the map and the stats from my (snow-logged) run.

TTC Info: This run starts and ends at Eglinton subway station, although it could just as easily start from Lawrence or York Mills stations.
