Get ready to tease your hair, pop that collar, and lace up your high-tops for the inaugural Sadie Hawkins Shuffle 5K and Polar Plunge, hitting Montgomery, AL, on February 14, 2026! This isn't just a race; it's a "totally rad" 80s-themed celebration, promising a lively 5K run that will get your heart racing faster than a power ballad. The course, set at the dynamic Montgomery Whitewater, invites runners to hit the trail and moonwalk their way through a route that's sure to have more rhythm than an 80's mixtape. Typical race day conditions in mid-February offer pleasant running weather, with highs around 65°F and lows around 40°F, and only an 18% chance of precipitation.

What truly makes this event unique is the exhilarating Polar Plunge, included with your 5K entry, inviting you and your Valentine to take an ultimate icy leap immediately following the race. All 5K participants will receive a commemorative race t-shirt if registered by February 2, 2026, along with a post-race beverage to celebrate your accomplishment. Packet pickup is conveniently held on Friday, February 13th, at Montgomery Whitewater.

Whether you're dashing through the trail with your sweetheart or embracing the chill with a daring plunge, this event promises an unforgettable Valentine's Day experience, rain or shine. As an added bonus, all participants will receive a 20% discount on ice skating and the ropes course at Montgomery Whitewater for February 14th, making it a full day of adventurous fun. Don't forget to bring a towel and a change of clothes for the post-race splash!
