Irreverent Warriors Silkies Hike

A Silkies Hike is a unique and powerful event hosted by Irreverent Warriors, a national nonprofit dedicated to improving mental health and preventing veteran suicide through humor and camaraderie. Veterans, active duty service members, and supporters come together for a hike through the community—wearing their iconic military-style silkies shorts—to build connections, share stories, and break the stigma around mental health. The event is not a race or military-style march, but rather a day-long opportunity for veterans to reconnect, laugh, and find support among their brothers and sisters in arms.
