Trout Lake was a favourite Wednesday night destination for us at the Cambie Running Room. Trout Lake 2.0 is a new 10k out-and-back from Distance Runwear on Main Street.
Want to go shorter? There is a 5k option which loops around Kensington Park. Kensington has neither trout nor a lake, but there is decorative fencing at the northwest corner of the park along Knight Street depicting orcas and swimming salmon tumbling toward 33rd Avenue.
