Benefiting Special Olympics Florida, Jacksonville Beach will host a Polar Plunge Saturday, Jan. 30, 10 a.m. at the Seawalk Pavilion.

WHAT: 

This event will be a traditional plunge and for the more adventurous winter weather folks, a 5k will be offered on Jacksonville Beach, where runners transform into plungers as they cross the 5k finish line taking the plunge into the chilly ocean water.

WHY:

By participating in the Polar Plunge, you will help people to participate in the Special Olympics.

HOW IT WORKS: 

Run, plunge, or do both!

Plungers are asked to raise a minimum of $100 and runners are asked to pay a $25 registration fee. Participants create their own personal Plunge page so friends, family and co-workers can donate online. It’s quick, easy and secure.

Plungers who raise the minimum of $100 in donations get an official Polar Plunge® T-shirt while runners who cross the finish line earn a custom Polar Plunge & Runner T-shirt and  bragging rights over everyone who just couldn’t bear it!

The more money you raise, the more cool stuff you can get – like Aquatica, SeaWorld and Discovery Cove tickets.
