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).

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 (if there are still available spots after the member pre-sale) 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.”

PLEASE NOTE: Registration opens at 8am on February 22, 2026 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. 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.
