Schreiber’s Annual Rubber Duckie Race & Festival
September 13, 2026 @ 2:00 pm – 5:00 pm
Our 37th Annual Duckie Race & Festival was a success, and it’s all thanks to you!
Because you adopted duckies, dashed in our races or cheered from the sidelines, volunteered, and played along, our Schreiber Kids are one step closer to the care they need to thrive.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I adopt a duck?
Starting in May 2026 you can adopt a single duck or a whole flock online. Every duck you adopt gets entered into our giveaway for a chance to win prizes!
Do I need to be present to win?
Nope! If you win our giveaway we will contact you using the info you provided at checkout.
What does my adoption support?
Your duck adoption directly supports the cost of uncompensated care for physical, occupational, and speech therapy services for children at Schreiber Center for Pediatric Development.
What’s the difference between the Duckie Dash and Duckling Dash?
The Duckie Dash is a 1-mile fun run for all ages and abilities. The Duckling Dash is a shorter 100-meter race just for kids of all abilities 12 and under.
Do I need to register in advance?
We encourage early registration to guarantee your spot.
Can I walk instead of run?
Absolutely! This event is about fun and inclusion, not speed. Strollers, wheelchairs, walkers, and other medically necessary mobility devices are all welcome.
Are pets allowed on the race course?
No. Pets are not permitted on the race course. Service dogs are welcome.
Do I need tickets for the festival?
The festival is free to attend but in order to play games you will need to purchase festival tickets separately from the race.
Is the event family-friendly?
Yes! We designed the entire day for families of all kinds, with games, activities, and plenty of space to play.
Will there be food at the event?
Definitely! Various food vendors will also be on site with selections available for purchase.
What happens if it rains?
We race rain or shine! Most of our festivities can continue under tents or shelter, but check our website or social media for weather-related updates.
How do I sign up to volunteer?
Once we are closer to the event we will have online forms available where you can sign-up to volunteer on Friday, September 11th to help with race course set up or on Sunday, September 13th to help with race day set up, logistics, and tear down.
Can my business sponsor the event?
Yes! We love working with local businesses to bring this event to life. Check out our sponsorship guide to learn more about benefits and packages.
Will sponsors be recognized at the event?
Absolutely! Sponsors receive promotion leading up to and during the event on signs, online, and in print materials.
