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 money we were able to raise for charity.

Every year, the Race generates tens of thousands of dollars...all of which is distributed to local and international charities!  See a list of recent charity recipients here: https://westportsunriserotary.org/supported-charities
