Proceeds from the Frogman 3D Bowhunters Challenge and 5K were used to support Hope for the Warrior's- Warrior's Wish program, granting life-changing wishes to wounded veterans like Army veteran Nicholas B., who was granted his wish for an Xtool P2 55W Desktop CO2 Laser Cutter. Due to his service-connected disabilities, Nicholas is unable to work and turned to woodworking as an outlet.

This Laser Cutter allows him to provide for his family, continue his passion, and contribute to his community. ​


Thank you to everyone who made this event, and this Warrior’s Wish possible!​



Registration for the 2025 Frogman Challenge opens up August 22nd!

Movin' Mullet 5k

presented by Bob Mills Mitsubishi

October 5, 2024


When you hear the word mullet, do you think of the fish or the rockin’ hairstyle? With our race, we hope your future answer will be both. To help Swansboro kick off their Mullet Festival, we will hold the Movin’ Mullet 5K the Saturday before the festival on October 5th.


We hope that you will use this opportunity to show off your fun clothing and awesome mullet hairstyles. Whether it is the North Carolina Neck Warmer, the Kentucky Waterfall, the Camero Crash Helmet, the Tennessee Top Hat, the Beaver Paddle, the El Camino Headrest, or even the Mississippi Mudflap, all mullets are welcomed…and actually encouraged.



We know that you will be all business in the front at the start line but that it will be a party in the back when you receive your medal as you cross the finish line. So channel your inner Billy Ray Cyrus, Wayne and Garth, John Daly, Andrew Agassi, Mel Gibson, every '80's wrestler or Tina Turner and go ahead and register now and claim your spot.
