WOUNDED WARRIOR RIDE TO TAKE PLACE JAN. 10-11, 2025 THROUGHOUT THE FLORIDA KEYS

FLORIDA KEYS, FL – The Wounded Warrior Project Soldier Ride takes place Friday, Jan. 10, and Saturday, Jan. 11, in the Upper, Middle, and Lower Keys. Residents and visitors are encouraged to cheer on and support the warriors while they cycle through the Florida Keys or join them for the guided community ride on Saturday in Key West.

“We are proud to celebrate the 20th year of the Wounded Warrior Project Soldier Ride in the Florida Keys. This event empowers Veterans and brings us together to honor their strength and commitment,” said Monroe County Veterans Affairs Director Cathy Crane, who is also a coordinator of the event.  “Let’s support our heroes, recognize their sacrifices, and build awareness as they cycle through our community.”

Motorists should take extra time to get to their destination during the ride times. U.S. 1 will remain open for the Soldier Ride, but motorists should be patient, use caution, and note that there may be rolling lane shifts in traffic.
