Join local veterans and show your pride in America this Veterans Day Weekend for the annual Silkies Hike in Jacksonville Beach. The event, created by Nathan Bradley and Jarrod Smith, is a 22km walk with pack, intended to stop and raise awareness for the 22 Veterans that commit suicide every day. The hike is aimed to provide unconventional therapy, networking, and support for veterans. The hiking event is military and veteran exclusive, but civilians are encouraged to support through volunteering and socializing after the hike.

Sign in will take place at the Wreck Tiki Bar, which is located just to the south of the Jax Beach Pier on the boardwalk! Sign in is from 9:00 am-10:00 am with the walk beginning at 10:00 am. More info will be available soon. To rsvp, click here
