The Special Olympics Colorado Polar Plunge presented by Westerra Credit Union is a fun and unique way to help support a great cause. You can challenge yourself to jump into a frigid body of water (either a pool or reservoir) and get pledges of financial support from your family and friends. “Plungers,” as participants are referred to, may take the Plunge as an individual or as a team member. Many Plungers come in costume and stay afterward for the festivities or to cheer on other Plungers!
The Polar Plunge + 5K is the combination of a 5K run in Denver’s City Park followed by the Polar Plunge at the Denver Zoo. You are not required to participate in both events but it sure is fun for those who have claimed the feat.
Good news! We still have one plunge coming up in 2016 at Kenny Reservoir in Rangely, CO on Nov 12th. Register here or below!
