Long Trail Day 2024 Is Saturday Sept. 21
Come join the Bread Loaf Section on one of our four planned hikes . See our calendar for more details.
Long Trail Day is GMC's Annual Community Fundraiser
MANY THANKS TO OUR DONORS!
In 2023 our section's Team, the Bread Loaf Loafers raised $1890 in support of the LT.
Our team raised the 3rd most funds as a team in support of the Green Mountain Club. Two other Long Trail Day teams, Psyched to Hike and Kingdom Express, were the top two fundraising teams. All the funds raised support GMC and the Long Trail.
LET'S BEAT THAT THIS YEAR!

In addition to our hikes and fundraising the section also celebrates members who have made an impact over the years.
In 2023 we dedicated our LT Day fundraising event to Jan and Harris Abbott, long-time members of the Bread Loaf Section. For more than forty years they have been giving back to GMC and we are inspired by their work.
