Frogman 5K Trail Run

🏃‍♂️ About Frogman

Frogman was created by The Campbell Family in 2012 to honor the wish of their beloved SOC (SEAL) Christopher Campbell. Chris lost his life during Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan when a CH-47 Chinook helicopter, call sign Extortion 17, in which he and 30 others Americans were riding, was shot down on August 6, 2011. The event honors his final wish to support combat wounded veterans, his love for hunting, especially bow hunting, and the outdoors.

• Mission: Supports combat wounded veterans.
• Honoring Chris: Ensures he and his teammates are never forgotten.
• Proceeds: Benefit SE Outdoors and the Jacksonville-Onslow Sports Commission (JOSC).

📅 Event Details

The Frogman 5K Trail Run will be held in eastern North Carolina in Jacksonville on March 21, 2026. Jacksonville is home to Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune and Marine Corps Air Station New River.
