The Kiwanis Club of Lapeer presents his annuity Rubber Duck Dash this weekend.

Here’s everything you need to know about this fantastic event.
When is the Kiwanis of Lapeer Rubber Duck Dash?
The event will take place on Saturday, September 17 from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
Where is the Kiwanis of Lapeer Rubber Duck Dash happening?
The fun will take place at Cramton Park in Lapeer (130 South Monroe Street).
What exactly is a Rubber Duck Dash?
The Rubber Duck Dash features thousands of “adopted” rubber ducks falling into Farmers Creek in a “dash” to the finish line. The ducks will be released into the river from the Kiwanis-sponsored pedestrian bridge at Cramton Park. The river will carry the ducks about 100 meters to the finish chute.
How much does it cost to adopt a duck for racing?
You can adopt a duck (or several), for just $5 each, essentially buying a raffle ticket, as each rubber duck has a number corresponding to each adoption certificate (raffle ticket). Never actually touch or handle your duck – Kiwanis keeps them safe. Just keep your ticket stubs with your duck number. Adopt your ducks and come watch to see if yours is fast enough to make it down the ramp first and win the $1,000 cash prize. The second duck down the chute wins $500, and so on until all prizes have been awarded. Over $3,000 in prizes will be awarded. Ducks can be adopted by any member of the Kiwanis Club of Lapeer. Visit our website at www.kiwanislapeer.org for more details on duck adoptions.
Is there prize money for the Rubber Duck Dash?
Yes. The prize money is as follows,
1st place – $1,000 cash prize 2nd place – $500 cash prize From here. More than $3,000 will be awarded.
You don’t have to be present to win the Rubber Duck Dash, but as you’ll see in the event flyer below, there’s plenty for you and your family to enjoy in anticipation of the race.
