The Nous Bruce Project

Donation protected
The Nous Bruce Project is the first project of The Nous Adventure Co - a platform that celebrates physical endeavours of everyday women and makes role models out of real people from real life.  

The Nous Bruce Project is an uninterrupted end to end relay run of Ontario’s Bruce Trail by an entirely female team. Our team is made up of 15 young women who will each take turns running on the trail as we make our way from Tobermory, Ontario to Queenston near Niagara Falls.

Given the length of the trail (almost 900km) and our team’s ability, we estimate this project will take 7 days to complete. We will start on April 30, 2016 and hope to complete the trail in its entirety by May 7, 2016.

We only have 6 weeks to raise the funds that we need for this project!

We’re using this Bruce Trail relay run as a platform to tell stories about everyday women - not glossy, edited, magazine women - being role models for others to participate in physical activity no matter their ability. Our team is made up of women of various abilities with the hope that others will see themselves reflected in the stories of our team and they'll hopefully be inspired to take on their own adventures. We'll be sharing our experience on social media, through photos, as well as creating a short film.

How will we using the funds that we raise?
The funds we raise will be going towards covering:
- the costs of transportation (a 900km trip will require refueling our support vehicles a number of times)
- food (we'll be working up an appetite each day)
- accomodations (5/7 nights on the trail have been donated. We are having to pay for 2/7 nights of accomodation)
- gear (health and safety equipment)
