ALARC Ice Dive 2013
The 2013 ALARC Ice Dive was once again a huge success! With below zero temperatures but almost no wind, 775 divers came out to participate.
Bill Wenmark, event Founder, dove for his 23rd time alongside Burt Carlson, long-time member of ALARC, runner who has completed 316 marathons, and is 86 years young!
