About the Event

The 15th Annual Aaron Vaughn Frogman Swim & Run returns to Jensen Beach, Florida on June 20th, celebrating a decade and a half of honoring the sacrifice of SOC Aaron C Vaughn (SEAL) who gave his life in Afghanistan. This year’s event promises another day filled with remembrance and community spirit along the picturesque shores of Jensen Beach.
The race starts early under the warm glow of a rising sun over the Atlantic Ocean, where the air carries hints of saltwater and summer. Participants gather at 4191 NE Ocean Blvd as families begin to fill out around them, creating an atmosphere of support and camaraderie that defines this event each year. The sound of waves crashing against the shore mixes with cheers from spectators lining the course.
For fifteen years now, runners and swimmers alike have come together on Jensen Beach to pay tribute to Aaron Vaughn’s legacy. With thousands in attendance annually, it has become a cornerstone tradition where not just athletes but entire communities find ways to honor fallen heroes through athletic competition and community service. Each year sees new participants joining alongside regulars who return out of respect for the cause supported by Operation 300—a non-profit dedicated to providing care for children left behind when military members make the ultimate sacrifice.
The event features a variety of distances, including both running races on land and swimming challenges in open water near Jensen Beach. The course winds through neighborhoods bordering the beachfront, with notable landmarks such as the Ocean Boulevard Pier serving as key points along the route. Participants can expect to encounter gentle rolling terrain for the run portions while the swim segments take place directly off the shoreline where the waters are calm and inviting.
As race day approaches, runners should prepare for typical June conditions in Florida: temperatures hovering around 27 degrees Celsius with a slight breeze providing some relief from humidity levels averaging at about 79%. With an average wind speed of roughly eleven kilometers per hour, participants can anticipate variable but generally comfortable weather throughout the event. The chance of rain is minimal during this time of year, though it’s always wise to check local forecasts closer to race day.
