Frogman 3D Bowhunters Challenge & 5K

Presented by SIA Group

June 1, 2024

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 other 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 Hope for the Warriors, North Carolina National Wild Turkey Federation (NCNWTF) Outreach Programs, and the Jacksonville-Onslow Sports Commission (JOSC). 

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 new course, never run before, created especially for Frogman. Medals awarded to the top-overall male and female, top-overall male and female masters, and first place in each age division. Everyone crossing the finish line receives a finisher medal.

Virtual 5K: Can’t make the event in person but want to support, this is the option for you.
