This race is child participation friendly and encouraged! We will simply ask those for the need for speed to start at the front of the line!

🏁 Exciting Features

This race offers TWO FINISH LINES!

For those that dare, you can participate in the Polar Plunge Finish Line benefiting Alabama Wildlife Center. At the donations page, please make the $20 donation to be able to enjoy the icy waters. All proceeds will go directly to the Alabama Wildlife Center at Oak Mountain State Park.

Do not worry about the donation and there will be a finish line for those that do not want to participate in the Polar Plunge. Just make sure to cheer when you see people make the icy jump!
