Bay Area 5K and Polar Plunge

The Bay Area 5K and Polar Plunge is scheduled for March 20, 2027 at Robert W. Crown Memorial State Beach in Alameda. The event combines a 5K run and a polar plunge at the same beach location.

The entry appears as part of the Special Olympics Northern California Polar Plunge locations for the 2026–2027 season. United Airlines is listed as the 5K run presenting sponsor for the Bay Area Polar Plunge, and Exelixis is noted as a silver sponsor. KRON4 is identified as a media partner for the Bay Area region.
