Are You BRAVE Enough to Take the Plunge?
Dare to conquer Utah’s FREEZING COLD winter weather at the Runtastic FRIGID 5K and Penguin Plunge!
Kick off your year with Utah’s premier winter event for over a decade! Our Beautiful, Fast, and Fun 5K course includes the Provo Delta River Trailhead, with stunning views of Utah Lake and the surrounding mountains.
Cross the finish line, then take the dare for the ultimate challenge of braving the FRIGID waters of Utah Lake for the Penguin Plunge! Our team skillfully cuts the ice and inserts a safety cage to protect you from floating under the ice or sinking. Plus, we have experienced divers and paramedics watching over, just in case. A little too cold to take the plunge? Stay and watch the faces of those who are crazy enough to do it!
To celebrate your accomplishments, we’ve got the coolest race goodies: a cozy FRIGID beanie and gloves for all race and plunge participants, a finisher medal for all 5K finishers, and a penguin keychain and plunge sticker for Penguin Plunge participants to show off your bravery!
