Polar Bear Plunge, Rehoboth Beach, DE, 1 pm The
annual Polar Bear Plunge is perhaps the largest such event in the
seaside State of Delaware. Every February, almost 3,000 swimmers bring
their bravado and their pledge money to Rehoboth Beach where, on the
count of "three," they all plunge into the icy Atlantic Ocean. Many
prizes are available for the taking, but the best reward of all is the
money raised for the Special Olympics of Delaware. If a February swim
in the ocean isn't exactly your scene, then consider the 5K "Run to the
Plunge," also at 1 p.m. Participation in this event costs only $20 to
$25, includes a free long-sleeved t-shirt, and doesn't require the
fortitude of a polar bear. This event will take place at Rehoboth
Avenue and the Boardwalk Rehoboth Beach, DE 19971. For more information
please call (302) 831-4653 or email: info@sode.org.
