Sep 1, 2024, 1 to 4 PM

The Mad River Valley Rotary Club is back with more quacktastic fun with the Great Duck Race of 2024!

Tickets are on sale now to "adopt" a duck to race for a chance to win cash prizes of up to $1000! Each duck is $5 or to increase your chances of winning, consider checking out the bundle packages. Ticket Sales are in front of Mehuron's from 3-5pm (Every Friday) and at the Waitsfield Farmer's Market on Saturday's from 9-1pm. You can also purchase online at https://mrvrotary.rallyup.com/duckrace2024/

And if one duck race isn't enough, we've added the Mad Duck 100 for those who really want to roll the duck dice. The Mad Duck 100 will be limited to 100 ducks and tickets are $100/each. The prize for this race is a whopping $1500! That's a lot of ducking money!

When you "adopt" a duck for either race, you are supporting the Mad River Valley Rotary Club as well as the many programs, events and community projects they support. These include The Warren 4th of July Parade, the Mad River Valley Dog Park, Rise Against Hunger, Neck of the Woods, Habitat for Humanity, grants and scholarships for local students and much, much more! Learn more about the MRV Rotary charitable giving programs at http://mrvrotary.org.

The Great Duck Race happens Sunday, September 1st at Lareau Park Swimming Hole (6051 Vermont Rte 100, Waitsfield.) We'll have fun kids activities and more with the first duck race starting at 3pm.

Look for the ducks in the Warren 4th of July Parade and we hope to see you on race day!
