This is the 2nd of 3 Meet & Greet hikes for C2C '26
This MeetUp event is open to all people who are attending the Cape to Cape event during the last week of October but if you are a regular WMA hiker and just want to join us and test your “mettle” you’re welcome.
Gareth will host a concurrent shorter version (13km) of this walk going through Bold Park.
Here is the link to a shorter 13km version on the day run by Gareth

Here is the link to the Cape to Cape '26 event if you want to join us.

Very soon we will be walking the cape! This is a great opportunity to test you and your gear. How is your stamina for this distance? Are those shoes comfortable enough? Will your water bladder leak? How hard is it to walk 6km of sand? Meet up with those other wonderful Cape to Cape walkers.

This walk starts at City Beach heading to bold park where I will try to find every hill in the park, then we return to Clancy's for a 1/2 half hour lunch with the other group before heading north to Scarborough and returning via the beach.

Difficulty
: 24.6km and 405m elevation gain. This walk has about the same amount of beach walking as the C2C’s sandiest day but the sand isn’t quite as fine. The area in Bold Park will test you on a dune or two. Overall its level of difficulty is very similar to the C2C. A good walking pace of 5 to 5.5 km/h for about 5 hours walking with lunch and a couple of stops. If you’re not a regular walker this is not the walk for you.
