5k Trail Run & Polar Plunge

Come join us January 1st at 2pm for eXplore Brown County's first 5k Trail Run & Polar Plunge event! Do you have what it takes to brave the frigid waters of our lake? Can we entice you by providing free hot drinks and snacks?

Beforehand, join in a 5k Trail Run that'll take you through the woods of the Hoosier National Forest. Run (or walk) through the hills and hollers of Brown County as you breathe in the fresh crisp air. The Polar Plunge will be the perfect way to cool off after your run!

Entry fee is $10. Part of the proceeds will be donated to the Brown County Parks & Rec Department.
