About this race
Event Invitation
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!
Event Overview
- Duration: 5K and Penguin Plunge have been the premier winter event for over a decade.
- Experience: After the 5K, finish the event off with the Penguin Plunge.
Challenge Yourself
- Bravery: Challenge yourself and brave the frigid cold by jumping into the Utah Lake.
- Safety Precautions: Our team skillfully cuts out a square of ice and inserts a safety cage to protect you from floating under the ice or sinking.
- Opt-Out Option: 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!
Safety Measures
- Participant Safety: At Runtastic Events, we value the safety of our race participants.
- Environment: We strive to create a fun and safe environment.
- First Aid: Both the 5K and Penguin Plunge have first aid booths readily available for participants.
