Hiker Information

Start your Hike or Bike anywhere, whenever you want! You can hike around your community, grab your friends and family, grab your pet and hit the road! Take small hikes over several days! Take one big hike! Hike or bike along one of PEI’s beautiful trails or beaches! With the beautiful weather just around the corner there are many opportunities to get out there and enjoy the outdoors.

Not an outdoors person? That’s okay! Why not try walking on a treadmill or doing laps around your local walking track?

Hiking in memory of someone special or hiking for a special reason? We would love to hear from you! If you wish, you can send photos and a little story to [email protected] and with your permission we would love to share them to our social media pages.

Why Your Participation Matters

Hospice PEI is 100% non-profit – we rely solely on the generosity of others to ensure Islanders and their loved ones are supported during and after death. Every dollar raised or donated stays in our community and makes a significant impact to the residents of Prince Edward Island. Funds received go towards providing programs and services at Hospice PEI which include such things as bereavement services, volunteer support, and education.

5-year-old Lucy biked 5KM last year with a starting goal of raising $21 for Hospice PEI, by the time her bike ride rolled around in June, Lucy had raised over $250 thanks to her sponsors!

Last year, Leanne asked her friends and family to support her Hike & Bike for Hospice campaign. Leanne walked 5KM each day and dedicated each walk to the memory of one of her donor’s loved ones. Leanne even carried a photo with her of the person she was walking in memory of.

One of our cherished volunteers, Helen, walked every day and tracked the distance she would walk. At the end of the campaign, she added up her walking distance and made a donation of $4 per km. Helen ended up donating over $200 to our Hike & Bike for Hospice campaign this way!
