Due to extreme cold and weather conditions forecast for this weekend, organizers have rescheduled the Law Enforcement Torch Run Cincinnati Polar Plunge benefiting Special Olympics Ohio. The event will now take place Saturday, March 21, at The Banks, outside Holy Grail Tavern and Grille on Freedom Way.

The decision was made out of an abundance of caution to ensure the safety of participants, volunteers, athletes, law enforcement, and spectators. All event details, including the plunge location and format, will remain the same.

The Cincinnati Polar Plunge is part of a statewide series benefiting Special Olympics Ohio athletes. Individuals and teams raise funds to support year-round sports training, competitions, leadership opportunities, and health programming at no cost to athletes or their families. Costumes, team themes, and friendly rivalry are all part of the tradition.

Now is a great time to pull your team together and maybe even get in a bit of practice.

Participants may join in-person or contribute virtually with their teams. Registration and information can be found at support.sooh.org/polarplunge.

Special Olympics Ohio is part of a global inclusion movement using sport, health, education, and leadership programs to empower people with intellectual disabilities. The organization provides year-round sports training and competition at no cost for more than 20,000 athletes statewide.
