It’s almost time to take the plunge!
Online registration is closed for the Skagit County Dash and Splash Fundraiser for Special Olympics Washington, but runners and polar plungers can still register in-person tomorrow (Saturday, Feb. 18), starting at 9:30 a.m. at Seafarers Memorial Park! Furthermore, donations can still be made at www.polarplungewa.com (look for the Anacortes link!).
The Dash and Splash is a combination of a 5K Fun Run/Walk and a Polar Plunge.
The 5K Fun Run/Walk will start at 11:00 a.m. An awards ceremony, raffle drawing, and costume contest will begin at noon, followed by the group plunge. Participants can join as part of a team or as an individual plunger. Remember to bring shoes, as they are required to plunge due to the rocky beach!
The Polar Plunge is one of the most popular events included in the Law Enforcement Torch Run fundraising campaign. The Polar Plunge is a unique opportunity for individuals, organizations, and businesses to support local Special Olympics athletes by collecting pledges and plunging into the frigid waters of northwest Washington.
Special Olympics Washington provides year-round sports training and athletic competition in an Olympic setting for all individuals with intellectual disabilities who wish to participate. With the support of fundraising campaigns such as the Law Enforcement Torch Run, athletes are able to compete with no cost to themselves or their families.
