Covering more than 895km, the Bruce Trail follows Ontario’s stunning Niagara Escarpment between Tobermory in the Bruce Peninsula and Queenston in the Niagara Region. Emily will begin her End to End CF journey on June 10th in Tobermory and end on July 1st at Queenston Heights park.
Along the way, Emily will be supported by her husband Dan, who will drive a motor home (hopefully donated!) from point-to-point, managing the logistical aspects of the run. Dan and Emily will camp and stay in people’s driveways along the way, and welcome any additional runners to join in (see Run with Em for details).
Starting at the northern terminus on Day 1, here is an estimated plan of the route:
