Running

Cross country running is one of my favourite activities. I love exploring a new trail, taking some pictures, and sharing my journey with you. Hopefully, you will discover a new trail to explore with these posts and photographic tours.

  • Spicebush Trail at Rondeau Provincial Park

    Let’s go to Rondeau Provincial Park in Southern Ontario today for another edition of My Visual Running Tours! I spent a week of my holidays this summer camping at this beautiful park. You can go there for a day trip if you’d like. Just make sure to pack a lunch, plan to go swimming, and…


  • The Marsh Trail at Rondeau Provincial Park

    Rondeau Provincial Park is located in Southern Ontario and it is a great destination for camping, boating, fishing, hanging out at the beach, and of course, trail running. When you are on site, it almost feels as if you are on an island since the beach runs along Lake Erie on one side and there…


  • Moffat Creek Trail

    It’s time for another installment of my Visual Running Tours. Today, we are going to Cambridge to explore the Moffat Creek Trail. It starts off as a shared pathway and it is paved for easy access for bicycle riders or rollerbladers, but there is an area where the dirt trail becomes an option as well.…


  • Battered and Bruised By a Trail

    It’s amazing how easy it is to hurt yourself. Last week, I went for a run on a fairly flat course. It wasn’t a difficult run at all. There weren’t an abundance of tree roots or rocks to watch out for along the route either. I don’t know how I did it. But ten minutes…


  • It’s All Uphill, Both Ways (Visual Trail Run)

    I first ran part of the Lafarge 2000 trail two years ago. At the time, I thought it was so named because it was about 2000 meters long. Turns out I was wrong. Last week, I found that this trail is continued a little further down the road. I grabbed my camera and eagerly hit…


  • Marguerite Omston Trail Visual Tour

    It’s time for another Visual Running Tour. This time, we are heading to Kitchener, Ontario. This is one of 19 access points to The Walter Bean Trail. It is located on Homer Watson Boulevard and is only a few minutes from Highway 401. Running through Waterloo, Kitchener, Cambridge, Woolwich and North Dumfries, the trail provides…


  • Stoney Creek of the Thames Visual Tour

    I love finding new places and trails to run. I also like taking my camera along with me and snapping a few photos as I go. This way I can document the trails that I have run and give you a little tour of some nice spots you might like to visit. Today’s Visual Running…


  • Medway Valley Visual Tour

    It’s time for the very first Visual Running Tour of 2011! Medway Valley Heritage Forest is located in London, Ontario and covers 95 hectares. There are 9 kilometers of trails that hook up to a few other short trail systems in the northern part of the city. For my run today, I covered about five…


  • Coldstream Conservation Area (Visual Tour)

    Time for another Visual Running Tour. This time I hit up Coldstream Conservation Area in Ilderton, Ontario. It’s always nice to see a map at the start of a trail. I don’t understand why this is called a beach area. How can you have a beach area when there is no swimming allowed? Is it…


  • Visual Tour of The Dundas Valley Trail

    I love exploring new places to run and bringing my camera along with me for the trek. This time I decided to go to Ancaster and run along parts of the Dundas Valley. I hope you enjoy this visual tour of my trail run.  I started off walking. I was just getting my camera strap adjusted…
