Rally up a team of friends, family, coworkers, or just your own two feet for the East Coast Trail “Trail Raiser On the Go” from September 12 to November 6. Participants are encouraged to complete self-guided hikes, following the suggested schedule, engage in activities each session, and fundraise for the East Coast Trail along the way. 

Throughout the Trail Raiser On the Go, hikers can choose to complete any or all of the three selected paths for each session and win fun prizes along the way! 

To complement each session’s hikes, we have partnered with local businesses along the ECT to offer Trail Raiser On the Go participants fun activities to try over the fall season. More information about the activity schedule will be shared soon, so be sure to keep an eye on your email inbox! Note, the above schedule of activities is tentative and subject to change. 

We are targeting a fundraising goal of $50,000 to help maintain, enhance, and develop the East Coast Trail in 2023. To help us reach our fundraising goal, all participants must raise a minimum of $50 and attempt to raise $250 – this can be donated by the participant or fundraised from friends and family. Help us meet this challenge, and if realized, we will meet/exceed our fundraising goal of $50,000 for this fundraiser.

How Are These Funds Used?
Funds raised in 2021 are being used this year to enhance Tinkers Point Path (completed in August 2022), the south end of Bear Cove Point Path (ongoing), and Island Meadow Path (starting soon). These enhancements include replacing damaged structures and clearing overgrown areas of the paths. 

Funds raised this year will be used for trail maintenance projects and enhancements of sections of the Stiles Cove Path in 2023.
