St.Thomas 2 Port Stanley via Elgin Trail

It's hard to believe that it has been three...YES...three months since we did the Elgin Trail Run from St.Thomas to Port Stanley.
Just scroll back to the June posting to see the pictures taken along the rail, no wonder we return.
Again we will meet at 184 Sunset Drive in St. Thomas, as the trail head we will go in on is just behind these buildings.

There is a gas station and a restaurant in this plaza and we park just on the south side.
It is about 20 km from White Oaks to give you an estimated drive time required.
As before we will figure out the logistics when we find out how man are running the St.Thomas to Port and those (like myself) who will drive to the arena in Port Stanley and hike in for an out and back trail hike.
REMEMBER...this is a self supported run, so please carry water and anything else you need to do a very hilly 16+ km trail run.
And if you run behind Terry you will do more hills than the rest. Just sayin!

Please have a change of shoes and clothes that you want at the end of the run or hike so the person(s) doing the shuttling back will not end up with a car that smells like a trail runners gym bag.
Also, a number of people have stayed in Port to have brunch, so that may be an option to consider.

For those who wish to stay close to home, Kains Woods is the option. (Medway is closed to us this weekend due to a big Pow Wow)
