The 2025 North Platte Polar Plunge for Special Olympics is Saturday, March 8th at Iron Horse Park in North Platte.
Registration begins at 10am. Teams and individual plunges will start at 11am. A post plunge party will follow at Axes & Aces in North Platte.
Anyone can plunge: kids, adults, teams, individuals, law enforcement, non-law enforcement, Special Olympics athletes, etc. All of the money raised from the Polar Plunge stays in Nebraska to benefit Special Olympics athletes and programs.
You can plunge as an individual or with a team. If you’re plunging as a team, your whole team will enter the water at the same time. If you have more than 12 in your team you’ll plunge in waves.
