What is a Rubber Duck Race?
Participants sponsor numbered rubber ducks that race along the lazy river at Fairfax County’s Water Mine Family Swimmin’ Hole. The first ducks to cross the finish line are declared the winners!
How Do I Participate?
Choose the duck—or flock of ducks—you would like to sponsor. Each duck has a unique number, which will be provided to you after your sponsorship.
All ducks sponsored by noon on Friday, August 28, will race on Saturday, August 29.
Join us at the Water Mine Family Swimmin’ Hole at 9:30 a.m. to cheer on the ducks! You do not need to be present for your duck to win. Winners will be announced following the race and awarded trophies.
Are the ducks real or rubber?
No—our racing ducks are 100% rubber!
Which Rubber Ducks Should I Adopt?
Choose from several sponsorship options:
- Sponsor a duckling for $10
- Sponsor a big yellow duck for $100
- Sponsor a flock for even more chances to win
