Event Details

Plunge Times

After checking-in for the Polar Plunge, plunging is first come, first served. Listen for “last call” announcements! If you would like an early Plunge time it is recommended that you arrive early to check-in.

Check-In

When checking in for the Polar Plunge you must bring the following items:

In order to receive incentives, fundraising must be completed by March 10; any dollars raised after this date will not be eligible for additional incentives
We are strongly encouraging that all donations are made online in an effort to reduce cash handling at check-in
These improved efficiencies at check-in will mean reduced wait times and limit exposure to other participants and volunteers creating a COVID-friendly environment for all!
