Florida Trail End-To-End Application
The Florida Trail Association confers the designation END TO END on any individual who affirms they have traveled end to end on the Florida Trail.  The policy gives equal recognition to through hikers and section hikers alike.  The Florida Trail Association assumes that those who apply for END TO END status have hiked every mile of the Florida Thru Trail including any roadway connectors.  Alternate trails are considered viable substitutes to the orange blazed trail in an emergency such as flooding or severe storms, which have made the trail impassable.  Parallel road walks are accepted as alternative routes when conditions put the hiker in peril.  The sequence, direction, speed, length of time taken to finish and whether one carries a back pack or not are not considered issues.

Note:  The Florida Trail has been in transition for the past 25 years.  Therefore, it will not be necessary for anyone who walked the trail before the end of 1999 to have completed all the road walks and consideration will be given as to the location of the Florida Thru Trail terminus changes.

Definitions:

Thru Hiker – is a person who is attempting to hike end to end within a year in a single continuous journey by hiking from one terminus of the Florida Thru Trail to the other.

Section Hiker – is a person who is attempting to hike all of the Florida Trail in segments, over a period of time.  The length of time, sequence of segments, and direction of travel on each segment are not considered issues.
