1) The Fort Collins Duck Race is produced by the Rotary Club of Fort Collins Foothills, The “Producer”, a charitable organization under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
2) A minimum of 5000 ducks will be entered in the race. Chances of winning depend on the total number of qualified entries.

4) The Great Duck Race will start at 12:00pm on September 7, 2024. The race course will be established by the race committee and the Fort Collins Duck Race reserves the right to postpone or reschedule the race or to determine the winners by random drawing in the event of inclement weather, Acts of God, or other circumstances beyond the Fort Collins Duck Race’s control.
5) A number will be attached on the bottom of each duck called the tag number. The individuals associated with the tag numbers on the first ducks plucked or collected by the Producer will be awarded prizes. Positive identification will be required to claim any prize(s). Winners will be notified by mail and must pick up their prize from the Producer.
