Hike description GHTC is excited to invite you to our first-ever Blue Jays Bus Hike! This is a GHTC fundraising event that we hope becomes an annual tradition for our club!
This year’s proceeds will go toward updating GHTC’s Trail Guidebook and Information Pamphlets. These valuable resources help spread word about our club to the surrounding community. It has been almost five years since these materials were updated and we thought it was time to have the content accurately reflect all the positive impact our club has made! Additionally, our vision is to make the Trail Guidebooks user-friendly on mobile devices too so we can reach even more people!
Our goal is to raise $5,000 toward these important Club marketing activities. I am excited to share we are half-way there already with a grant we secured from the city of Guelph! Now we ask you to join us for this iconic hike to help us raise the remaining $2,500!
Join us for a unique experience that combines hiking with seeing the Toronto Blue Jays take on the defending World Series champion, Texas Rangers, at the newly renovated Rogers Centre! Hikers will have two different hike-types from which to choose. Hike # 1 drop-off location will be at the Humber Bay Bridge in Etobicoke. Hike # 1 is ~7.5 km in length; moving at 4 km/hour pace along Toronto’s boardwalk adjacent to the waterfront. Hike # 2 drop-off location is the Exhibition Place Wind Turbine. Hike # 2 is ~3.4 km in length; moving at 2 km/hour pace along Toronto’s boardwalk adjacent to the waterfront. Both hikes offer beautiful views of Lake Ontario and Toronto’s skyline as we approach the Rogers Centre by foot. Once at the Rogers Centre, hikers will be able to offload any gear inside of our bus and then proceed into the Rogers Centre to take in the Blue Jays game!
