Duck Race begins approximately 4pm!
An estimated 10,000 yellow rubber race ducks, sporting ultra-cool sunglasses, will be racing to the finish line at Sun-N-Fun Lagoon's Lazy River! Before the Race begins, be sure to visit the vendors and sponsors during the Water Safety Festival where families can learn how to be safer in and around the water.
Families can adopt a duck and watch it race against all others to the finish line.

Everyone who adopts a duck, whether online, in the mail, at a Duck Race booth or in a sponsoring business is entered into what we call E-Quack, a database that stores all of the information. Next to your name in E-Quack is the number of ducks you have adopted. The tag range is entered into E-Quack and all the numbers are shuffled up. Then, E-Quack automatically assigns the number of ducks you have adopted next to Tag Numbers. Thus, if you adopted 5 ducks, your name will be placed next to 5 different Tag Numbers.
A few days prior to The Great Naples Duck Race, volunteers will place numbered tags on the bottom of every duck that will be in the Duck Race - which is 10,000! The tags are waterproof labels beginning with a 7 digit number and ending with a 7 digit number.
For Example: 8580001-8590000
Tag numbers are automatically and randomly assigned by computer. We want to make sure that no duck has an unfair advantage and the race is not fixed, so to ensure the integrity of the race, tag numbers are never given out. Rest assured, however, that all of the ducks you have adopted will be in the water.
If all our ducks have not been adopted by race day, it means that a lucky adopter can still adopt up to an hour prior to the race. Their names will be placed at random into the mix, next to a number that does not already have a name by it. Anyone can adopt until an hour before the race begins, as long as the race is not sold out.

*Once the ducks are launched, they are on their own. No attempt to free or interfere with any duck is permitted, unless deemed necessary by the race committee.
This event benefits the Safe & Healthy Children's Coalition of Collier County
