Joggin' for Frogmen 5K - Virtual Racer

Lace up for a cause with the Joggin' for Frogmen 5K - Virtual Racer, a powerful event inviting runners and ruckers alike to honor the sacrifices of Naval Special Warfare service members and veterans. From May 1 to August 31, 2026, participants can complete their 3.1-mile journey from any location they choose, making it a flexible and accessible way to contribute to a profound mission. While the spirit of the event originates from locations like Virginia Beach, where typical race day conditions in May offer pleasant highs around 75F and lows near 56F with a 14% chance of precipitation, your chosen path can be anywhere in the world.

This virtual race is more than just a run; it's a nationwide movement founded in 2011 to commemorate the EXTORTION 17 tragedy in Afghanistan, which saw the loss of 30 American heroes and one working dog. Every stride supports the Travis Manion Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to empowering veterans and families of the fallen to develop character in future generations. As a virtual racer, you'll receive a race shirt and a commemorative medal, while ruckers will also earn a custom GORUCK patch, all shipped directly to you starting in May.
