End-to-End Badges

Keep a hiking log and by the end of your journey, let us know so that we may officially recognize you as an End-to-Ender and present you with a certificate, a unique official End-to-End (E2E) number and a badge!

We’ve issued over 4,000 official End-to-End numbers in our 50+ year history. Each year the names of those who have reported End-to-End completions in the previous 12 months are published in the spring issue of Bruce Trail Conservancy Magazine.

Submitting your End-to-End and frequently asked questions

There is no set format for a Bruce Trail End-to-End log. It can be as simple as a list of the dates of your hikes and where you started and ended each day. It can be a paper log, photocopy, word document, or spreadsheet.

We suggest having a separate page for each club section, especially as these will help you request Club Badges from the individual Bruce Trail Clubs if you’d like to collect those as you go.

Please note:
We operate on the honour system. We give equal recognition to all End-to-End hikers regardless of sequence, direction, speed, or whether the End-to-End was completed as a thru-hike or in sections. The BTC does not maintain records of End-to-End completion time or of End-to-Enders gender, age or other characteristics.

Payment and logs can be sent to the Bruce Trail Conservancy:

By mail: P.O. Box 857, Hamilton, ON L8N 3N9
In person: 55 Head St, Unit 101, Dundas ON L9H 3H8
By email: end2end@brucetrail.org

Note: If sending by email, e-transfer payments can be made to the same email address. E-transfer are not auto-deposited.

Processing time can take up to 14 business days from the deposit date.

The BTC does not sell the Club badges individually – you’ll need to go to each Club if you want to collect them as you go – but if you can wait until the end, you can get all 10 in the End-to-End Badge Package & Certificate.

You do not have to be a BTC member in order to apply for the E2E Stained Glass Badge, but members do receive a discounted price. Members should include their BTC number when submitting for this badge.

Yes, as long as you have met the requirements for the official End-to-End Badge & Certificate or the End-to-End Badge Package when also applying for the Stained Glass Badge. You may submit the payments all together for processing.

In each case, a route on the Bruce Trail (main and side trails) and a corresponding route on the international trail have been designated as a Friendship Trail, displaying special signs to mark the partnership. To receive an International Friendship Trail Badge, a hiker has to hike the Friendship Trail section of the Bruce Trail as well as the corresponding trail abroad.
