Thank you for supporting
Duck Race on the Charles!*

Online Duck Adoptions have closed!
We had a blast; we hope you did too!
Thank you to all who purchased ducks online and to those of you who joined us for our shore party. We had so much fun! New this year - we were launched off the bridge by a front end loader. Yikes!
Three lucky ducks won cash prizes.
Even better, the race helps us to support charitable events throughout the year, so “adopting” some ducks for the race helps us to help others.
A Huge Thank You!
On behalf of all of our club members and beneficiaries of our scholarships and community donations, we want to thank everyone who adopted ducks and all of our fantastic and loyal sponsors.
2024 winners were notified following the race. Congrats Yolanda, Michael, and Karen.
