Hike To Remember XIII
Hike To Remember XIII
Saturday 20 September 2025 5:00AM
UNITING VETERANS TO BUILD AWARENESS, BUILD COMRADERY AND PREVENT SUICIDE
On September 20th 2025, we will unite with 300+ veterans in Glastonbury, Connecticut to hike a 22k.
Why 22 kilometers? In the hearts and minds of these military veterans, it is simply a reminder that they lose 22 veteran and/or active duty brothers and sisters from suicide every day.
MCL Det. 40’s mission is to unite veterans and service members from all branches and walks of life to enjoy the camaraderie they had shared while serving. Together, they integrate their passion with purpose to combat suicide in the veteran community. Each year’s hike is designed to join these forces to support the fight to end veteran suicide and to support veterans and their families as they transition back to civilian life.
We hope you’ll give it a share to help spread awareness about this important cause. God bless America!
PLEASE NOTE: The Hike portion of this event is open to Veterans and Active Duty Service Members only.
Registration is currently OPEN
Hosted by:
Marine Corps League Peter P. Monaco Jr.Detachment 40

Location: South Glastonbury, CT
