Looking for a "cool" way to beat the winter blues? Switch off your treadmill and head outside for the third annual Plunge 5K! This family-friendly walk/run is a great way to embrace the chilly weather, boost your energy level, and warm your heart by supporting the more than 7,100 athletes of Special Olympics Minnesota. Plus, you'll receive a rad shirt for your efforts! USATF - Certified Course #MN11024RR

The Plunge 5K requires a registration fee of $30.

If you prefer to mail in your registration, you can download a registration form (PDF).

Dash and Splash

If you're looking for a more "extreme" form of exhilaration, consider adding a little "splash" to your "dash!" This means you will walk/run the 5K and then Plunge into Lake Calhoun. Participants plunging into the frigid waters must raise a minimum of $75. This is completely separate from the 5K fee.

Remember, if you want to dash and splash, you must register for the Plunge 5K and the Minneapolis Plunge, which are two separate events and registrations.

Plunging for 5K participants will take place 10-10:30 a.m.
