Rally a team of friends, family or just your own two feet, and register to hike and fundraise for the trail. Our 2018 goal is to raise $75,000 to help maintain and protect over 300 kilometres of developed coastal wilderness trail!
We’re lining up great prizes for the top 3 teams & individuals, as well as draw prizes, all generously donated by East Coast Trail supporters. Everyone who pays for or raises funds to hike is considered an individual fundraiser. Plus, all hike participants, regardless of the source of your registration fee, are eligible for the draw prize(s).
There’s four great hikes to choose from: two longer hikes and two family hikes. The family hikes will include activities featuring Island Rooms of Petty Harbour – home of Fishing for Success, Petty Harbour Mini Aquarium and Nature Conservancy of Canada / Conservation de la nature Canada. The after-hiking party will feature local entertainment, a hearty lunch & the opportunity to share your hiking experience.
