Frozen Footrace

In association with the Polar Plunge, we're holding a special 5k to benefit the Special Olympics.  After you warm up, you might consider jumping in the lake.  In November.  In Erie.  Brrrr. 

COME CHILL.
Kick off Special Olympics Pennsylvania’s 2024-2025 Polar Plunge season in Erie Pennsylvania! This year, we’ll be celebrating 10 YEARS of plunging into Lake Erie! Throughout the plunge season, Special Olympics Pennsylvania will host eight plunges around the keystone state.

So, create your team and join thousands of plungers around the state in making a splash to support our athletes.

NEW THIS YEAR

Join us for the first ever Frozen Footrace 5K! Warm-up with a 5K around Presque Isle at 10 AM before plunging into the frigid water at 12 PM!
