Dash to victory and great prizes!  Come watch hundreds of rubber ducks race down Nolan Creek.  The first 3 lucky ducks that cross the finish line will receive quacktastic prizes!  

Enter a duck (or increase your chances and enter more).  The Rubber Duck Dash will be held during the festival with ducks being launched at 1:30pm.  You do not have to be present to win.  Winners will be announced at the festival and posted on the results section of this website.  

Ducks can be adopted in advance at the Temple-Belton Board of REALTORS office at 2703 Exchange Pl in Temple or at the festival at the TBBOR booth.

Ducks are 1 - $5  or  5 - $20

Note: "Adopting" a duck is your adoption fee (ticket) to enter the race.  You will not actually receive your duck (gaming device) as they are reused each year.   Click here for official race rules.
