ENTRY FOR 2026 NOW OPEN! Participants may opt to walk or run this 5k!

Specialist Gregory Mitchell of Bravo Troop in the 102nd Calvary Unit has been selected as the SGT Nutter Run 2026 Beneficiary!

On Saturday, June 20, 2026, Class 69 of the New Jersey Army National Guard Officer Candidate School (NJOCS) in Sea Girt, NJ will host the 22nd Annual Sergeant Nutter 5K Run.

This event is organized by the SGT Sam Nutter Organization Inc (SSNO) in memory of the late SGT Samuel Nutter, to benefit the family of a NJ National Guard service member. We are asking for your help in aiding our Soldiers and their families in their time of need. This year's Beneficiary will be Specialist Gregory Mitchell, who was involved in a severe car accident in August of 2025 that resulted in multiple brain bleeds and a traumatic brain injury (TBI). All proceeds, sponsorships, and donations will directly support his continued recovery. 

The 5K race will take place at the Army National Guard Training Center in Sea Girt, New Jersey. This year we are adding Youth run/walk 200 meter for kids ages 6 to 9 and 1/2 mile (800 meters) for ages 10 to 13. We will also be hosting a virtual run to allow all who wish to participate the opportunity to do so! On behalf of the Sergeant Samuel Nutter Organization, we encourage your support and thank you for being an invaluable part of this cause. You can support this cause by running in the race, donating, or becoming an event sponsor. Whichever you choose to do, know that you will be honoring the legacy of SGT Nutter during this year's 22nd annual 5K run. SSNO is a registered 501(c) 3 non-profit organization and 100% of the proceeds will be donated.
