The Natural Resources Council of Maine's annual New Year's Eve 5K run/walk & polar plunge benefiting our climate & clean energy work!17 years ago, a small group of the Natural Resources Council of Maine's staff & supporters plunged into the Gulf of Maine to raise funds & support for our work to mitigate climate change. We've since added a "warm up" 5K run/walk and carry out the tradition at our annual Polar Bear Dip & Dash, NRCM's largest fundraiser. We hope you'll join us this year by dipping, dashing, and donating to this event!

In 2024 we are introducing sliding scale registration - we encourage you to choose the registration price that best fits your circumstances! If you can pay more, you are making it possible for someone with less economic wealth to join us. If the standard registration fee is outside of your comfort zone, we've included a more accessible registration point this year as well. If all registration levels are outside of your comfort zone, please contact Colleen Donohoe at [email protected] to request a scholarship.
The Natural Resources Council of Maine has been around for more than 60 years pursuing our mission to protect, restore, and conserve Maine's environment. Today, we recognize that we can't meaningfully do that work without addressing climate change. The effects of climate change on Maine’s environment are severe. Energy efficiency, clean air, and renewable energy sources are a priority for NRCM.
Every cent raised through registration and peer-to-peer fundraising will be used to directly support this work to reduce emissions and realize a clean energy future.
