Vegas Polar Plunge

About the Event

Come out and run in January with us! Choose a 5k, virtual 5k, 1M, virtual 1M, or just the plunge option! You will finish the race by jumping into very cold water! In 2022, the water was in the low 40's. In 2023, the water was in the high 30's. We will see what the temperature brings us in 2025! The race will be held at the Silver Springs outdoor pool, and the course will traverse the Pittman Wash Trail! All of our runners will receive Vegas Polar Plunge beanie to help keep your heads warm!

Plunge without the run
There are those that would just prefer to plunge into the freezing waters without running! We got you! At 12:30 PM, we will open the pool up for those plungers! All goodies are also available to the plungers. Vegas Polar Plunge race beanies will be available to purchase for nonrunners
