Kick off your year with movement, momentum and a bold finish! The New Year’s Plunge at Lake Elmo is more than a dip, it’s your first race of the year! Lace up for a 3-mile or 1.5-mile run/walk around the lake, cross that finish line, then if you dare, celebrate by charging or tip-toeing into the icy waters for an optional polar plunge. Heated tents and warm beverages await!

Whether you’re chasing a personal best or just here for the plunge and laughs, this event is all about starting fresh, having fun, and saying Yes.You.Can! in the new year!
