Frogman 5K Trail Run

About the Event

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.

By supporting Frogman, you ensure that Chris’ wish carries on and that he and his teammates are never forgotten!

Proceeds from the event will 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 February 20, 2027. Jacksonville is home to Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune and Marine Corps Air Station New River.

5K Trail Run - A wooded trail run through the property known as the “400-acres.” The trail is predominantly flat and should be fun for all. This is a course created especially for Frogman.
