2000 runners in the underground city
Two thousand runners participated in a 5 km underground run on Sunday. The map on this page may be useful for finding a long uninterrupted winter walk indoors.

About 20 years ago (FFS how can it be 20 years???) I would do that route starting at Centre Eaton three our four days a week in winter on my lunch break. Walking, not running of course. It took about 45 minutes IIRC.

Last year I tried to get from Square Victoria over to the Eaton Centre underground and I only made it one building over before I gave up. Would be really cool to have a site dedicated to finding your way through the all the nonobvious connections between buildings; I could only find vague directions.

I agree, Mark. I tried to do the loop a couple of years ago on a Sunday and got stuck somewhere near Place Bonaventure. Someone needs to do a more comprehensive map with details, possible alternative routes and so on.

One of the things I liked about it back in the day was the sense of exploration and mystery. I would tell people “I’m going spelunking” as I’d head out of the office.

It still isn’t well signposted, Blork.

Thre are some specific routes like walking in the underground maze from Square Victoria to Bonaventure that are technically possible but so complex it’s way faster to just walk at street level.
