The 2026 Polar Plunge for Special Olympics

RwR – Will be doing our group run from Kits Beach along the seawall eastbound up to the foot of Splyglass Pl and return. The total distance is estimated at 5.40 km. After the run we will have the usual cool down/stretch period and discussion. RwR will be dismissed around 11:30-11:45. However, for those that are able to remain a little longer, can cheer on and support our VPD Chief and the Special Olympics as they do their annual Polar Plunge.

* There is absolutely NO expectation from anyone from RwR to physically participate in the Polar Plunge. However, should you wish to do so it will be at your own risk.

Our Recruiters will be there to answer any questions you may have.

This program will also allow you to connect with likeminded individuals with similar goals.
