    Head down University Ave. Duck into the valley and enjoy the easy and forested Belgravia Access North trail until you reach Buena Vista/Hawrelak footbridge. Don’t cross, head straight passed the footbridge to continue along the south bank of the river (river on your left), walking the parameter of Hawrelak Park until you reach Emily Murphy Park. As you pass under Groat Bridge, take a hard right and head up the stairs to cross Groat Bridge. As you exit the bridge, loop back underneath and head for Government House Park. From there climb the big toboggan hill (ICE AND MUD SEASONALLY), and enjoy wandering in the old Westmount neighborhood until you reach 8km.

    About the Calorie Calculator

    Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.

    When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.

    Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
