The 8th annual Polar Bear Plunge will be held Jan. 2, 2010 at the SportsCom.
Brave men, women and children from around the area will don costumes and swimwear and take “polar” dips into the SportsCom Outdoor Pool.
There’s a reason to be freezin’ … families to be benefited by the Murfreesboro City Schools Family Resource Centers.
The average water temperature hovers around 40 degrees but for the not-so-brave souls, there is a Chicken Plunge into the heated indoor pool.
Plunges will commence with Vice Mayor Chris Bratcher as emcee, at 10 a.m. Registration will begin at 8:15 a.m. In addition to the plunges, there will be the “Arctic Adventure” with games and activities for the whole family and the “coolest costume” contest. The winner, voted by the crowd, will receive a trophy.
Pre-registration will be available at Sports*Com beginning Dec. 1.
SportsCom is located at 2310 Memorial Blvd., Murfreesboro, TN 37129.
