Hills
Are there any good hills around the campus to run on? (grass preferably, and not an extremely steep incline, either)

Directions, man?!

edit: Actually I think I know where it is. I'm looking for only a slightly inclined hill though, about 50 metres in distance.

Best Incline training I can think of is Cootes Paradise. If you take the trail behind the rugby Fields and take it all the way to Confederation Park towards the latter end of it there is an incline that my track coach used for incline running.

Okay soo...I'm assuming you see Les Prince Hall....Start walking on the road towards the rugby fields from the entrance of Les Prince. The Rugby Fields are the grassy ones surrounded from three sides by the forest.

As you are walking towards the fields there is a Tall Wooden Obstacle Course Type Tower. Right behind it is where the trail starts. In other words the trail starts to the left of the Rugby Fields and is hidden inside the forest on the Google Map. It curves all the way to Churchill Park(Which is also marked on the map).

The Incline is right before you reach churchill park. Well worth the exploration, the trail looks absolutely stunning in Fall because of the Orange/Red/Yellow Leaves that cover all of it.

Edit: Or This spot 43.268446,-79.9140 marks the entrance

Alright thanks!
It seems I have already been on that trail (not that far however). I was doing sprints on some hill near that structure and stepped in A LOT dog feces; wasn't really a nice experience.
