In September, The Toronto Bruce Trail Club organizes its annual End-To-End hike which covers the entire Toronto Section of the main trail. This event is open to all hikers; however, we encourage you to purchase a BTC membership which helps to support securing and supporting the entire trail. (see below for this year’s event dates and particulars)

The hike begins at the designated parking lot in the morning, where a bus takes you to the day’s starting point. Then you hike, self-guided and at your own pace. You’ll find checkpoints with snacks and assistance every 10-11 km and you get an official end-to-end badge when you finish.

There is a fee for participating which includes bus costs, badges, and refreshments. TBTC donates any profits to the Bruce Trail Conservancy to help secure land for the trail’s optimum route.

This is an event for experienced hikers as the terrain is varied and quite challenging. Hikes go rain or shine. Also, no dogs are permitted at this event.  We are always looking for volunteers to assist with the event.

Space is limited, hikes go rain or shine, and no dogs are permitted on this event.  For questions, please contact Jacquie Van Dyke at vdyke0946@gmail.com
