Law Enforcement Torch Run Polar Plunge 2026 🥶❄️

The Polar Plunge is back for 2026 — and this year we’re going bigger than ever!

Join the Law Enforcement Torch Run and as we challenge Aotearoa to get Freezin’ for a Reason. And this year, as well as returning to Wellington and Christchurch, we’re challenging Aucklanders to get in behind the Polar Plunge, with the addition of Takapuna beach as a new venue!

The Plunge lasts a moment. The impact lasts a lifetime.

Every dollar raised helps create sporting opportunities for people with intellectual disabilities across New Zealand through local clubs, Athlete Leadership programmes, Young Athletes programmes, schools initiatives, and events nationwide.

9am, 18 July — Wellington (Freyberg beach at Oriental Bay)

9am, 25 July — Auckland (Takapuna)

9am, 25 July — Christchurch (New Brighton)
