The ducks will drop from the foot bridge crossing Trout Run and float towards the Bennett’s Branch (behind the Benezett Store). They will then cross the finish line just past the Station Road Bridge. The first 3 finishers will win $1000, $500, and $250 respectively and the very last duck to cross the finish line will win $50 too! We will also have lots of other prizes to be drawn the day of the event. The fun kicks off in town Benezette at KECA’s Gurney Volunteer House at 9am with music, raffles, games, and DUCK Merchandise. The race will commence at Noon and then the Wapiti Waddle Festival will follow race at the Elk Country Visitor Center until 4pm.
