Swayze Falls Trail – Short Hills Provincial Park
I ran a trail at Short Hills Conservation area in St. Catherines Ontario a few weeks back and really enjoyed myself. Today, I was looking forward to exploring a brand new trail there. I had heard that there was a waterfalls in this park so when I saw this sign, I knew it was the…

A Run Through Southcrest Ravine
Let’s explore Southecrest Ravine in London, Ontario for the latest edition of My Visual Running Tours. I really didn’t know what to expect when I started off on my run today. It certainly didn’t look like much on the trail map of the city I picked up last week. There are a few different entrance…

Doors Open London is a great event and one of the best weekends of the entire year. This past weekend, there were over a hundred different tourist attractions to visit all over the city and the surrounding counties. The best part is that the event is absolutely free. I got out to twelve different sites…

Stopped by a Train (But Admiring the View)
I don’t always have my camera in the car when I get stopped by a train, but I had just gone for a trail run and some great graffiti kept zooming passed me, so I grabbed my camera and took a few shots. I don’t think train graffiti really harms anyone. In fact, I think…

Shriner’s Woodlot / Mount Carmel Running Tour
I collect trails. I know that sounds weird but I don’t like running the same routes all the time. I want to find new trails to run, so whenever I find myself in a new city, if I have the time, I steal myself away for a trail run. This weekend I was in Niagara…

The trail starts in Coronation Park and it offers some paved sections, some gravel sections, and a few rolling hills. I was all set to “Create My Own Adventure.” I knew I’d be running approximately…
