Walk 4 Inclusion: Where Everyone Belongs

Thank You for Joining Us! You showed up, you walked the walk, and you made inclusion more than just a word—you made it real.

Walk 4 Inclusion 2025 at Murray Park was filled with joy, connection, and purpose—and it was all because of YOU. Whether you came with teammates, family, friends, or met someone new along the way, you helped create a space where everyone belongs.

From yard games to music, snow cones to high-fives, your energy brought our mission to life and spotlighted the strength of unified communities and the power of athletes of ALL abilities.

SAVE THE DATE: Walk 4 Inclusion returns on Thursday, July 16, 2026  Murray Park | Pavilion 2 at 6:00 PM

Let’s do it all again—bigger, louder, and even more inclusive. Together, we’re stronger. Together, we walk.

The 2026 Polar Plunge Series is HERE!

The chills are just getting started. Special Olympics Utah is kicking off the 2026 Polar Plunge Series — and it’s shaping up to be our coolest season yet!

This winter, we’re turning courage into a cause as plungers across Utah grab their capes, costumes, and teammates to take the #UltimateShiver Challenge. Whether you’re jumping in solo or rallying a full team, every splash supports more than 5,000 Special Olympics Utah athletes through sports, health, leadership, and inclusion programs statewide.

Four Plunges. One Unstoppable Movement.

Get ready to dive into one (or all!) of our icy adventures across Utah:

• Daybreak Polar Plunge — Saturday, January 17
• NEW! The Stadium Plunge @ America First Field — Thursday, January 29
• Ogden Polar Plunge — Saturday, February 7
• Cedar City Polar Plunge (South Area) — Saturday, February 21

Each plunge is packed with energy, music, costumes, community spirit, and, of course… a whole lot of brrrrr!

Why Take the Plunge?

Because every dollar raised fuels year-round inclusion. When you register for the Polar Plunge, you’re not just braving icy water — you’re changing lives.

Funds raised help provide:

• Training and competition opportunities for athletes of ALL abilities
• Health screenings and wellness programs
• Athlete leadership and unified sports experiences
• Lifelong friendships, confidence, and community impact

• Register your team or sign up solo: https://charity.pledgeit.org/POLARPLUNGEUT
• Start fundraising: Every dollar counts — and every splash makes a difference.
• Show up and suit up: Costumes encouraged! Bonus points for creativity and team spirit.

And this year… we’re adding exciting incentives and chilling surprises for top fundraisers and team captains.

Be Bold. Be Brave. Be a Little Bit Bonkers.

Whether you’re taking your first plunge or returning for another year of freeze-fueled fun, we can’t wait to see you make waves for inclusion.
