This event is about more than miles—it’s about TCO, support, and showing up for one another.
This Wildwood End-to-End hike is being organized to support TCO member Emily Swenson, who was recently diagnosed with early onset dementia. Completing the full Wildwood Trail is on her bucket list. Blake, Emily and I are organizing TCO to come together to help make that goal a reality.Whether you hike every mile or simply play a small role along the way, you are part of something truly special.
Not everyone needs to hike all 31 miles to make this special.
We are looking for TCO support folks to be at key road access points along the Wildwood Trail, where the trail comes closest to roads. These locations are essential for:*Providing water and food to TCO Members
- Offering blister care if needed
*Encouraging and motivating participants throughout the day - Serving as safe exit points for those who need to stop early
*Shuttling hikers back to their cars
Your presence at these stops helps ensure that this long and challenging day remains safe, supported, and full of positive energy.
Not Ready for 31 Miles but still want to hike?
- Hiking a shorter section of the trail! Hop on at the access points listed above! There will be a TCO buff waiting for you!
