The Annual Brandywine End to End will be held again this year – The event date is Saturday, April 14. Similar to the 2023 event, the 2024 event is a ~28-mile trail and road challenge through the beautiful Brandywine Valley. The event is open to hikers and runners who will navigate the trail at their own pace following blazes and a cue sheet. The Brandywine Trail wanders down the scenic Brandywine Creek Valley through parks, farms, pastures, woods, and along country roads. About one-third of the hike is on roads.
Participants will meet at Chadds Ford Elementary School for registration and to board a bus that leaves promptly at 5:45 a.m. At this time, masks are optional. The hike/run begins in Ludwig’s Corner, PA at ~6:30 a.m. (You can also meet us at the trailhead, although we do not provide return transportation.) Approximately 28 miles later you will arrive back at Chadds Ford Elementary School.
There are two rest stops/checkpoints where you can refuel with food and drink. You must reach each checkpoint by the cut-off times:
o Downingtown: 13 miles, by 11:00 am
o Lenape: 23 miles, by 3:00 pm
o You must complete the hike by 5:00 pm
