It may not be the Indy 500, but it’s just as exciting to see which lucky duck (and human) takes the checkered flag! Join us this year on Saturday, June 6, 2026 for the Broad Ripple Duck Race + 5K presented by David Electric!

This year’s event includes a 5K and fun run through Broad Ripple Village prior to the event. Participants are encouraged to dress in their favorite duck gear and take off from the Start Line at 9am!

The Finish Line will take racers right to the Duck Race festival – FREE children’s activities set up on the Rainbow Bridge overlooking the Broad Ripple Canal on Guilford Avenue north of Westfield Boulevard for all to enjoy through 1pm.

Make sure you head to the duck sales booth as soon as you get there to get your hands on a couple of the 3,000 rubber ducks that will race down the canal promptly at 12:30. The ducks will enter the water at the Start Line where the Monon trail crosses the Central Canal. The ducks then race west down the canal towards the Finish Line located by the pedestrian bridge near College Avenue. After the race, you can pick up your souvenir duck to take home!

Proceeds support BRVA programs and projects focused on enriching the community, amplifying public spaces, and improving quality of life in Broad Ripple.
