Time again for the yearly plunge at Clogherhead
IT’S going to be a chilly start to December for dozens of locals when they take part in the Polar Plunge at Clogherhead beach on Saturday December 2 at 11am.
The yearly event attracts people of all ages, from local schoolchildren to hardy dippers and members of an Garda Siochana.
The Clogherhead event will be the Leinster leg of the nationwide series.
Proceeds from the event goes to Special Olympics Ireland which is a sports organisation for people with an intellectual disability.
Polar Plunge is one of their biggest fundraising events of the year thanks to the hundreds of plungers who take to the water across the country.
Registration fee is €20 and they ask that you fundraise an extra €50 to help support the programme and the athletes. The Polar Plunge is proudly supported by the Law Enforcement Torch Run, who first brought the event to Ireland in 2007.
A Gospel Choir will perform before the event and the Coast Guard Helicopter will fly past at 11am. Hot Drinks await all participants in the shelter and comfort of the RNLI Lifeboat Station
