2026 Columbus Polar Plunge

Delaware Racers

Welcome to the Delaware Racers Polar Plunge Team!

Freezing for a reason, thriving for a purpose.


The Delaware Racers aren’t just a Special Olympics team — we’re a family built on grit, laughter, teamwork, and the unstoppable spirit of athletes who redefine courage every day. Whether it’s on the court, in the pool, or out in the community, our athletes show up with more heart than the coldest plunge could ever take away.


This year, we’re taking that spirit straight into the icy water — and we’re inviting YOU to join us.


Why we plunge:

Because inclusion isn’t optional.

Because every athlete deserves a chance to shine.

Because the Racers lead with joy, strength, and a whole lot of hustle.

Because the world needs more spaces where people of all abilities are celebrated, supported, and given the tools to thrive.


Your donation helps us fund sports, competitions, equipment, training, and unforgettable moments of confidence and connection for athletes with intellectual disabilities here in Delaware County.


Every dollar fuels the joy.

Every plunge fuels the mission.

Every supporter becomes part of our team.


If you want to join the Racers in the water — welcome aboard, brave soul.

If cheering from the shore is more your style — we love that energy too.

Either way, thank you for helping our athletes live their best, boldest lives.

Go Racers — and bring on the splash!
