What is the 5K registration fee?
The registration fee is $50. Day of registration fee is $55. All participants will receive a commemorative medal at the conclusion of their run. Walkers are more than welcome to join!
Is the 5K Timed?
Yes and awards will be presented to the top 3 runners in each age category.
Is there a minimum age requirement?
No, anyone is welcome to join us. However, those under the age of 18 must bring a 5K & Polar Plunge Waiver signed by a parent or legal guardian. No waiver, no participation, no exceptions!
Can Run participants also Plunge?
Sure! And many of them do. You will need to raise an additional $125 and will receive a Polar Plunge shirt and lunch. You can also earn additional incentives, so the more you raise, the more we want to thank you!
Do I have to dress in costume?
No, but many runners do! When else will you have an excuse to dress in your favorite Halloween costume in the middle of winter?
If I choose to Run and Plunge is there enough time for me to do both?
Yes! The run takes off at 9:00am and the Plunge hits the water at 12:00 noon. Between the run and Plunge enjoy the pre-Plunge festivities and games.
If I decide to Run and Plunge do I have to go in the water?
That is completely up to you! Dip your whole body or your big toe, whatever you decide is fine by us! If you don’t want to get wet at all, register as a 5K Runner/Chicken. You’ll be excused from plunging but qualify for the same incentive rewards as our Plungers.
