Join North Star for our second most ducky, dare we say, most quack-tacular "Duck Dash 5k & Kid's Fun Run," happening on July 27, 2024, in the morning, just before our Great Rubber Duck Splash, which is our rubber duck race fundraiser.  The 5K begins at 7:30 am.  Registration deadline is July 26th!

Packet pick-up will be at North Star Community Services (3420 University Avenue, Waterloo) on Friday, July 26th from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm.  We encourage packet pick-up on Friday, but don't worry if you can't get there, you may still pick your packet up on race day beginning at 6:30 am.

The cost is $25 without a t-shirt and $35 with a t-shirt.

The race includes a participant medal and the 5K will be timed. 

Fun duck-themed costumes are welcome and encouraged

The route will begin near the Paw Park in Cedar Falls, Iowa and is an "out & back" along the great bike trail along South Main, under Greenhill Road, to the turn-around and back.

The super-ducky Kid's Fun Run will take place right after the 5K and will begin at 8:45, it will take place on the Jennings Drive Trail and once around The Falls Aquatic Center.  The cost for the Fun Run is free or $10 with a t-shirt.  Each child will receive a participant ribbon/gift.

Following the race, we hope you will consider stopping by our Great Rubber Duck Splash at The Falls, being held from 9:00 am to 11:00 am.   We will have food trucks and fun kid activities.  Admission to the event is free with a minimum of one $5 duck adoption - but feel free to adopt more for more chances to win!
