Description

Please join us for the annual Iroquoia Bruce Trail Club self-paced End-to-End. You can enjoy and complete the entire club distance of 122 km over four days (approximately 30-35km each day).

**NEW THIS YEAR: We will have an all new End-To-End badge in 2025**

Please be honest about your physical abilities. These 4 days are not recommended for new hikers or anyone who hasn’t completed these distances recently.
The registration fee is non-refundable.

The hikes will traverse the varied and often strenuous terrain from Grimbsy in the south, to the 401 in Milton. You will pass many waterfalls and beautiful vistas. Checkpoint stations will be approximately every 10 km offering snacks, water refill, and assistance. Please bring your own First Aid Kit.

The hike is $95 for members and $110 for non-members and includes bus transportation from the meeting point to the hike starting point, refreshments, parking, permit costs, and the official E2E badge. The fee is non-refundable.  After costs, the proceeds go to the Iroquoia Bruce Trail Club who support The Bruce Trail Conservancy mission of “Preserving a ribbon of wilderness, for everyone, forever.”

Registration opens at 8am on March 29, 2025 for Bruce Trail Conservancy members only. You may be a member of any club. If any spots are still available after the first two weeks, registration will also be opened for non-members at a cost of $110.

Details will be emailed to participants once registration is received. As mentioned, these are longer hikes and are not suitable for beginning hikers. For both events, hikers are expected to maintain an average pace of 4 km/hr (or more). Hikers will be required to reach each checkpoint on each day by a prescribed time in order to continue, and ensure everyone is off the trail before dark. Please be aware that volunteers are running this event and will  be waiting.

Space is limited, hikes go rain or shine, and no dogs are permitted on this event. For questions, please use the contact hike leader form available through the link on this page.

Description

We’ve had so much fun completing the Bruce Trail in the Fall of 2023 and again in 2024, that we’ve decided to do it again!

This hike series covers the Sydenham section; 168 km over 8 days.

Note that hikers have alternative dates if they wish – choose 29 Sept or 7 Oct for Hike #5 and 2nd or 8th Oct for Hike #8.  The first options give hikers the week of Oct 6th off.  The second options give some rest days for those participating in Sydenham’s official Club E2E.

We will meet each morning at 7:45 and be ready to shuttle at 8:00. Hikers will take turns shuttling and taking drivers to their cars each day.  Any parking costs will be shared among hikers.

Hikers should wear layered clothing, hiking boots, poles, hat, sunscreen, bug spray, rain gear and bring plenty of water, snacks and lunch. We will hike rain or shine.

Full itinerary will be emailed to hikers the week before the first hike.
