Cross the finish line, then take the dare for the ultimate challenge: the Penguin Plunge! Brave the FRIGID waters of Utah State Lake for epic bragging rights! We’ve got the coolest race goodies for you: 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! We want to invite you and your friends and family to the 2025 FRIGID 5K and Penguin Plunge! It’s a great way to start out the year and break free from the winter running blues! The 5K and Penguin Plunge have been the premier winter event for over a decade. After the 5K, finish the event off with the Penguin Plunge. Challenge yourself and brave the frigid cold by jumping into the Utah Lake. Our team skillfully cuts out a square of ice and inserts a safety cage to protect you from floating under the ice or sinking. If you choose to opt-out of taking a dip in the lake, feel free to watch the faces of those who are crazy enough to take the dive!
