Editing Bruce Trail (section)

==Long distance activities==
The BTC regularly holds events called ''end to end'' hikes. These events, which are sometimes held over two to three days, challenge hikers to walk over long sections of the trail daily in order to hike the entire length of the trail within one of the Bruce Trail clubs.

The Bruce Trail has also attracted long-distance runners who attempt to run its entire length.  The first [[Fastest Known Time]] (FKT) was set in 1995. During the [[COVID-19 pandemic|COVID19]] pandemic, a number of runners broke the FKT from 2017.

The Highlands Trailblazers Nordic Ski Team completed a relay-style run of the entire trail in 8 days, starting in Tobermory on June 24, 2008, and finishing in Queenston on July 1, 2008. This run was both a training event as well as a fundraiser for the team.<ref>{{cite news|title=Runners complete Bruce Trail |publisher=Stayner Sun |date=2008-07-08 |url=http://www.staynersun.ca/StaynerSun/article/110116 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090519012616/http://www.staynersun.ca/StaynerSun/article/110116 |archive-date=May 19, 2009 }}</ref> In 2009, two 10-person teams running continuously in an event called the Blaze Race set a new end-to-end relay record of 3 days, 23 hours, and 10 minutes.<ref>{{cite web|last=Trailrunner.ca|title=Cdn Trail Records|url=http://trailrunner.ca/home/?page_id=920|access-date=3 October 2012}}</ref>

In 2012, adventure seekers Fred Losani, Peter Turkstra, Mark Maclennan, and Teemu Lakkasuo went on a quest to raise funds and awareness for inner-city food and nutrition programs in Hamilton, as well as the Bruce Trail Conservancy as they celebrate 50 years. The adventure began on September 24, 2012, in Queenston, in the Niagara region, and ended approximately one month later in Tobermory. Along the way the hikers had the opportunity to walk with students, interact via live webcam and satellite phone transmissions, and educate students about the importance of proper nutrition, healthy living, and maintaining the Bruce Trail.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.brucetrailforkids.ca|title=Bruce Trail Expedition For Kids|first=Bruce Trail Expedition For|last=Kids|website=www.brucetrailforkids.ca}}</ref>
