    Easy enough course to run around Lake Nokomis before doing the Polar Plunge. It was 27°F at the start, but with wind chill it felt like 23°F. MORE

    I didn’t plunge this year, only ran. It was at a different lake this year, kind of nice to have a different place to run. It’s always fun to be challenged running in Minnesota in the winter. The course was in pretty good condition so was able to keep my speed somewhat decent, didn’t have a ton of ice to slide across. The shirt was nice but very large, the smallest was huge. There was a medal this year, which a nice plus. There was not much in snacks after and it was a little confusing where we could go after. We realized we were in a tent for plungers and certain company teams only and should not have been there.

    This is my second year doing this, takes place before the Minneapolis Polar Plunge begins. It’s a Fun Run, no chip timing but they do have a clock up and it’s scenic run around Lake Bde Maka Ska. There is a lot going on with the plunge gearing up, a live band, beer tent and food trucks. The shirts are great and you can earn more gear by raising funds for Special Olympics. Great cause, good fun and a great way to warm up before taking the plunge if you want to participate in that!
