HONOR THE SACRIFICES OF NAVAL SPECIAL WARFARE SERVICE MEMBERS AND THEIR FAMILIES_
What is Joggin' for Frogmen?
Inspired by U.S. Navy SEALs (Frogmen), the Joggin’ for Frogmen Race Series activates communities nationwide to honor the sacrifices of all Naval Special Warfare (NSW) service members and to support families of the fallen within the community.
The event was created following the EXTORTION 17 tragedy in Afghanistan on August 6, 2011, when 31 U.S. personnel were lost in a helicopter crash--the single largest loss of life for U.S. forces in the history of NSW. Since the first event in 2012 in San Diego, the series has expanded to three in-person race locations across the United States each year as well as a virtual EXTORTION 17 Memorial Run/Ruck each August.
United to Honor Their Sacrifices
As the exclusive beneficiary, all funds raised through the Joggin’ for Frogmen race series benefit surviving families of the special warfare community connected to TMF. Our best-in-class programs allow families of the fallen to find healing and honor their loved ones through service, including opportunities to serve as mentors to youth, forge connections with one another, and experience opportunities for personal growth.
“It has taken me quite some time to find my way out of the darkness since Kev’s light was taken. But I have discovered my own light and, with the help of TMF, I do my best to shine it brightly enough for all those still lost in their darkness to see.”
