Description: This is a hike to bring awareness to those who are veterans, active duty members, and/or family members of those who serve that struggle with suicide. During this event, competitors will complete as many 1-mile or 1/2-mile loops as they can between sunrise and sunset. U.S. Marine Corps Capt. Kenneth C.
