The Seattle Polar Plunge & 5K is a fundraising event that supports Special Olympics Washington. It combines a cold-water plunge with a community 5K walk and run. Participants of various ages and abilities take part to raise funds for year-round programming for athletes with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Activities at the event include:
- Polar Plunge
- 5K Walk & Run
- Plunge and 5K combo
The event takes place at the north end of Warren G. Magnuson Park, near the swimming area at 6505 NE 65th St, Seattle, WA 98115. Parking is available and on-site signage will direct attendees to designated lots. The day includes check-in periods, an opening program, staging for plunges, and scheduled plunges and runs.
Fundraising is a central element of the campaign. The campaign has raised $260 toward a $100,000 goal. All funds raised through the Polar Plunge support Special Olympics Washington athletes and year-round programs across the state. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
