Registration Types

Plunger

You are prepared to go "all the way" and hit the water running.  You can dip your big toe or your whole body; it's completely up to you. 

Chicken

Water not your thing?  Register as a chicken and you’ll be excused from taking a quick dip but still enjoy all the Plunge festivities and incentives you can earn.
