Whether you are a serious runner, casual jogger or would just enjoy a brisk walk for a good cause, the Run to the Plunge is the perfect way to warm up exactly 25 hours before thousands of Polar Bears -- and maybe even you -- head into the cold water!
Registration at the race will open at 12 noon on Saturday, February 5, under a tent near the Bandstand on Rehoboth Avenue.
NOTE: Race participants arriving Friday night can pick up their packets or register for the race at the Atlantic Sands Hotel Polar Bear Plunge registration area from 5 p.m. - 8 p.m.
Registration
Registration will be available on both Friday and Saturday. Friday’s registration will be open from 5:00-8:00pm in the Atlantic Sands Hotel. On Saturday, registration will open at 12:00 NOON until race start time in the 40x40 tent on Rehoboth Avenue next to the Bandstand. As a pre-registered participant, you will sign your waiver form and be able to pick up your t-shirt and bib number either Friday or Saturday. And, it is not too late for friends or family to join you, so please encourage them to take part in all the fun and festivity of our plunge weekend.
The Course
The course is the same for both runners and walkers. Runners will start on the Boardwalk in front of the Atlantic Sands and proceed north before turning around and heading back south to finish in front of the Atlantic Sands.
Post-race and Awards
Following the race, participants are invited back to the registration tent to enjoy bananas, bagels, and refreshments.
Awards will be presented in the vicinity of the bandstand or in the registration tent as soon as all race results are scored.
