The 2010 Lewes Polar Bear Plunge (at Rehoboth Beach) to benefit Special Olympics Delaware and all related Plunge Festival weekend activities, including Saturday’s Run to the Plunge, have been postponed due to the impending nor’easter and accompanying high winds and heavy surf forecast to hit the state of Delaware.
The decision was made with input from the event safety team, which is comprised of representatives from Rehoboth Beach Police & Fire Departments, Sussex County Emergency Response and Delaware State Police, according to Jon Buzby, director of media relations, for Special Olympics Delaware.
New dates
The new dates for the Plunge Festival Weekend are March 12 – 14, with the 5k Run to the Plunge scheduled for 2 p.m. (note change from original 1 p.m. time) on Saturday, March 13, and the Lewes Polar Bear Plunge scheduled for 1 p.m. on Sunday, March 14.
Additional updates for the March 12-14 event will be posted at www.plungede.org.
