Ring in the New Year with a 5k and Polar Bear Plunge

On New Year’s Day, there will be the annual Polar Bear Plunge at Golden Gardens, accompanied by a 5k run to get you warmed up to enter the frigid Puget Sound.

The 5k is organized by Run 2 Be Fit, a local fitness group. They say the run will be at 10am, which will be followed up by a dash into the sea.

The Ballard Elks Lodge will also host what they call a “Pledge or Plunge“, at the beach next to their lodge at 1pm.
