An Ultra Marathon is anything greater than marathon distance (42.2km). We thought it would be fun to attempt an Ultra Hike 😈
We'll be hiking along the Martin Goodman Trail along Lake Ontario from sunrise to sunset, covering as much distance as we possibly can with a goal of ending up at Burlington before the sun disappears.
We’ll start from High Park at 06:37, aiming to cover as much distance as we can along the waterfront until sunset at 19:58. The goal is to reach the iconic Brant Street Pier in Burlington, which is about 54 km away, testing our endurance and teamwork throughout the day.
If you find it's all too much, we've planned a route with easy access to GO Train stations for an easy exit.
Make no mistake, this will be an extremely challenging day but one you can tackle in a safe way and all along some of the easiest terrain you can find. It's going to be a blast!
