START WITH A HIKE!
PUSH Magazine is hosting its annual New Year Day Hike on January 1, 2026.
You will be a part of the 8th staging. We started in 2019 where we hiked 19kms.
​
The idea behind having a fitness event to start the year was to coincide with a lot of persons making fitness goals at that time, and being a lover of the outdoors, we just decided to host a hike annually!
This is a 'No Frills' (hikers are responsible for their own hydration and food) event that is open to the public of all ages. So tell a friend and bring a friend as we kick off 2026 by being in nature, enjoying some fresh air, discovering new places and cooling off in some river waterl!
ABOUT THE TRAIL
We meet at Total Service Station in Manor Park at 5:00am. We will then convoy to Mount James via Golden Spring Road to begin the hike. The route takes us along Coakley Road. It will be a mixture of off-road and on-road terrain across the lush St. Andrew hillsides. The route will be mostly shaded and we will have three river stops before heading back to the parking area.
