RACE HISTORY:

Helmed by Steve Violette, the Great Duck Race was initiated in 2009 as a trial to see if a duck race would work in Westport.

The event was a smashing success, nearly doubling expectations for profits.

Every year, the Race generates at least $20,000...all of which is distributed to local and international charities!
