2026 Bay Area 5K Run & Polar Plunge

On March 21, 2026 Special Olympics Northern California will be hosting a Polar Plunge and 5K timed run to raise funds for Special Olympics and the free life changing sports, health, educational and athlete leaership programs offered to children and adults with intellectual disabilities for free.

Registration for the run is $45 and includes a commemorative medal to everyone with awards presented to first, second and third place finishers in each category. REGISTRATION FEES INCREASE ON 1/1/2026 SO REGISTER EARLY!

The Polar Plunge is not a swim. It is a quick dip in and out of the water and then on to the post Plunge festivities. If you are interested in doing the Plunge AND the 5K click here for more information and to register.
