Denver Polar Plunge & 5K
presented by Westerra Credit Union
Thank you to everyone who participated in this year’s Denver Polar Plunge! We have exceeded our goal of $105,000! Thank you for your support!
Head into the great outdoors and venture over to Wash Park to plunge roulette, run, or do both in support of Special Olympics Colorado athletes!
About Plunge Roulette (Click to Expand)
In place of the traditional pool plunge, Denver Plungers will get to participate in the first ever plunge roulette! Participants of plunge roulette will be doused or sprayed with whatever the roulette wheel lands on. Think ice cold water, maybe some soothing warm water, or maybe a mystery bucket (could be a condiment, a soda, or dessert). Participants are encouraged to bring goggles and an extra towel for your car seat!
