DUCK RACE 2015
posted: Jul. 10, 2015
The second duck race in the canal was held on June 28, 2015. Over 1300 rubber ducks were dropped off of the Monon Trail bridge. Well over 1000 spectators lined the bridges and the banks of the canal to watch the ducks travel toward the finish line, just west of the rainbow bridge.
An Indianapolis Fire Department team caught the ducks past the finish line for later distribution to the race entrants.
There were three prize packages of gift certificates donated by local businesses. The winners were Joe Wiesinger, Brittney Harlan, and Traci Willis.
