Get ready to hike, walk, bike, swim, paddle or roll for a greener tomorrow.
We're excited to be hosting the third annual EAC Hike-a-Thon fundraiser in summer 2026! Mark your calendars to enjoy the great outdoors while supporting the Ecology Action Centre.
Hike-a-Thon 2026 will take place in August and September, with registration opening earlier in the summer, and concluding with an awards ceremony party. Hike-a-Thon has typically happened in June, but this year we're changing things up!
How does Hike-a-Thon work?
Individuals and teams sign up for the Hike-a-Thon by registering and pledging to raise at least $100 in support of the EAC. During August and September, registrants participate by hiking, walking, paddling, swimming, rolling, climbing, cycling or getting outside anywhere in Mi'kma'ki! Even though the emphasis is on "hiking," setting a goal that is fun & accessible to you is welcome and encouraged.
As an example, your goal might be to go for a 10km hike, or to cycle to work three days a week, or to swim in a lake every other weekend, and to raise $100. That could be asking four people to sponsor you and give $25, five people to give $20 or 10 people $10. When you break it down, it’s no sweat! You update your network as you progress towards your physical and fundraising goal, and maybe even exceed your targets! The EAC provides resources and support as participants work towards their goals.
