Description
The Polar Plunge, presented by Law Enforcement Torch Run and GEICO, is a unique opportunity to support Special Olympics athletes by taking a flying leap – a leap into the frigid winter waters. Participants must raise $100 in donations from friends, family and co-workers in exchange for jumping into the icy waters.
The Polar Donut Dash 5K will be held in conjunction with the University of Illinois Polar Plunge. This is the only 5K around that not only tests your speed but your ability to eat donuts! Participants will be treated to multiple donut stops along the route and will receive a minute deduction from their overall time for each donut they consume along the course. Registration is $30 online or $35 the day of the event. Awards will be given to the top three individuals in each age category.
The dash and plunge will take place Saturday, March 10 at the University of Illinois located at the Memorial Stadium Parking Lot. Donut Dash registration starts at 8:00 am and the dash starts at 9:00 am. Plunge registration starts at 10 am with the plunge taking place at noon.
