The 2021 Broad Ripple Village Association Duck Race was held at Guilford Avenue and the canal on August 29.
Local businesses set up booths around the Rainbow Bridge on Guilford and food booths set up in the parking lot behind Runners Forum.
Spectators lined both sides of the canal from the Monon Trail bridge to College Avenue. Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett helped toss the almost 3000 rubber ducks into the canal from the red Monon Trail bridge to start the race at 4:30pm.
The three top finishers were:
#1: 1488: Steve Q.
#2: 459: Brett M.
#3: 539: Liam O.
