For just $5, you can adopt your very own rubber racing duck. Your adoption enters you into the race and supports a great cause. Tickets are on sale now, and we encourage you to come out and cheer on your duck as it races to the finish. Bring your friends and family and enjoy a day filled with laughter, community spirit, and a little friendly competition.  Tickets for the Duck Race go ON SALE starting Tuesday, March 31st.

This year, proceeds from the GNACC Duck Race will support Norwich Bully Busters and GNACC. Their mission is to educate the community on bullying prevention laws and school policies, while also providing fun, interactive, and low-to-no cost programs for youth throughout the greater Norwich area. Your participation helps make a meaningful impact right here in our community.
